Newsmagazines:
A conversation about survival
Amid Capeci, the AME/Design of Newsweek and Arthur Hochstein, the design director of Time, are midtown rivals. I've worked with both designers. Amid was at Esquire when I got there in the early 90s, and I persuaded him to move to Newsweek during one of the four redesigns I've been involved with. He left for a while to go to Rolling Stone, so we have a lot in common!

(Isn’t it refreshing that the title was not “creative director”?) The magazine, with editor Adam Moss, has again become New York’s essential survival guide, and the visual side got better and better.
