“The first thing you try when you’re called in, is to find out how the top people see the problem. That’s often similar from project to project: the disconnect from the readership.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>Legendary designer Walter Bernard<\/a> joins the show to talk about Mag Men: Fifty Years of Making Magazines<\/a>\"\" (Columbia University Press), the new book he co-authored with Milton Glaser<\/a>. We get into the art and necessity of collaboration, the relationship he and Milton developed over half a century of work, the pros and cons of doing redesigns for globally established institutions, and the decline of print in the digital age. We get into his stellar run of redesigns for Time, Fortune, The Washington Post<\/em>, and The Atlantic<\/em>, the one magazine Walter would have loved to redesign, his design pet peeves, how he learned to learn the culture of newsrooms, how he came into his own and could feel like a true partner to Milton, and plenty more! Give it a listen!<\/a> And go buy Mag Men: Fifty Years of Making Magazines<\/a>\"\"!<\/p>\n

“Magazines are not done by one person. They get better with all these ideas and collaborations.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
