The future of the publication industry

George McCalman, Art Director at AFAR, a new travel magazine, gives a great, quick interview at SPD about the future of publishing, and how being a designer in such a setting differs from agency or solo work.

He says that working on developing and designing Afar has,"changed my perception of the future of publishing. I feel like the magazine format is going through its chrysalis period, and will emerge just fine on the other side. There's been a lot of bloat and fat in the industry for years and there nothing like a good recession to cull the herd. How many women's lifestyle magazines do we need, anyways?"
