Media Creatives Launch Indie Mag for a Cause

My Favo(u)rite Magazine benefits ailing industry vet Bob Newman

Last May, after veteran graphic designer Bob Newman was left in a coma caused by his collapse during a seizure, friends and former colleagues in the industry rallied to help him by setting up an online fund to contribute to his recovery. (It eventually raised more than $59,000, surpassing its original $50,000 goal.) Now, a group of fellow creatives are lending their talent, too, by collaborating on a one-off title whose proceeds will go to Newman’s family.

My Favo(u)rite Magazine—described by project leaders Andrew Losowsky of The Huffington Post and Jeremy Leslie of magCulture as a “love letter to print”—is a collection of essays in which creative directors from titles like Wired, Elle and Fast Company (and digital companies like Pentagram and AOL) reveal their all-time favorite magazine issues, plus an addition by Newman himself.
