MAGAZINE NEW YORK
|
|
Arts Magazine was one of four major art magazines in the United States in the early seventies. It had been around since 1926.
I was originally hired to create an anthology on contemporary Spanish art, but I soon began doing the magazine’s copy editing as well. Eventually, I expanded into production and design, at first conceiving and creating ads for the clients who did not wish to hire an advertising agency. When the production of the magazine moved out of state, I was given the layout and production work as well. (I had already been creating ads for clients who did not have agencies.) This is one of my layouts. The photos are of sculptures by Anthony Caro.

GUIDEPOST
MADRID
|
|
Guidepost is an English-language weekly that has been published in Madrid for forty-odd years. First directed mainly at the people stationed at a nearby American Air Force base, in the sixties it moved more toward tourists and the local English-speaking expatriate population.
I worked there—on and off and at different jobs—for about six years. although I never held the title of editor, I put together 30 or 40 issues while editors were on vacation or otherwise occupied. “Editor” was an all-encompassing job that ranged from assigning artlcles to writing whatever was missing to laying out the magazine in the print shop as the type arrived. It was an ideal introduction to the physical side of publishing. And although the days of letterpress and photogravure are long gone, the stages of publishing remain virtually the same.
I designed this cover and prepared the background. The drawing of the Cibeles sculpture was done by Celestino Cuevas. The layout is also mine, done for that same tenth-anniversary issue. I also took all of the photos of Guidepost staff members on these pages.

SUNNY SPAIN
MADRID

The touristically titled Sunny Spain was a monthly magazine that Guidepost published for a chain of hotels. I adapted a photo I took at the Alhambra to create the cover. The layout is also mine. The colored circles (gold in the original) are the same image as the cover.
