2014 by Robert Newman, Newmanology

One of the most popular posts of the year on magCulture was the set of Pick Me Up radio contributions from our friends around the magazine world. To mark the end of 2014 we’ve invited some of those same friends, and others, to share their thoughts on the year in magazines.

We start today with Robert Newman, the New York-based creative director of Newmanology. He notes the continued revival in front cover design led by The New York Times Magazine team, the growing influence of independent magazines on the mainstream and the renewed interest in editorial illustration. He also looks forward to the continued reinvention of Entertainment Weekly next year.
