Any design/media/Businessweek fans out there? Society for News Design asks Bloomberg reps to talk about the media organization's lolsy magazine illustrations following a preview of the July 15 cover. Mm. That's a lot of portfolio. Maybe not surprisingly, media societies already are having a laugh over the cover — more that a professional business news magazine with a readership of nearly 1 million decided to run with the design than the design itself. When SND asked the magazine's creative director Richard Turley whether they had a contingency plan, he said there was no serious option. "It seemed very difficult to escape from this idea once it was hatched. Every other idea just seemed lame," Turley told SND.
Well... The first one was pretty good. After all if you want to send a clear picture... That one will do it. =P
