Mark Your Calendar: Arthur Hochstein on Designing 1,000 Time Covers

Time for some design inspiration: legendary art director Arthur Hochstein will visit the Society of Publication Designers (SPD) next Wednesday for what should be a fascinating discussion of “thinking inside the (red) box.” He’ll discuss his 15-year career at the creative helm of Time, where he was responsible for creating more than 1,000 momentous, funny, pointed, provocative, intelligent, and highly creative red-limned covers. The talk, part of the SPD Designers Speakeasy speakers series (try saying that five times fast!), will touch on Hochstein’s greatest hits, worst flops, and some personal favorite cover designs that never made it to newsstands.
