Esquire's Design Director Curcurito Included in the 'Folio 40'

Our friends at Folio magazine have just launched their 2008 Folio 40, a list of important media-types. Among them, the one from the design world, is none other than Esquire‘s design director, David Curcurito (“the man for whom one ‘cur’ was simply not enough”). Why was he selected? It was Folio’s feeling that his work at Esquire, having signed on to the magazine in 2006, was so influential that now nearly everything glossy being published is outright copying many of his ideas.
