TIME Names D.W. Pine Design Director

TIME didn’t have to look far for its new design director. With the departure of Arthur Hochstein (who will continue to be a contributing designer), the magazine announced late last week that the top job would go to Hochstein’s longtime deputy, D.W. Pine (pictured), who will be assisted by Cindy Hoffman. “He is a master of modern design,” wrote TIME managing editor Richard Stengel in an all-staff e-mail announcing Pine’s promotion and praising his “strong, clean, and spare” aesthetic.
