Interview Magazine

265 x 418 mm, 154 pages New York, US Bimonthly Editorial director: Mel Ottenberg Design director: Richard Turley Art director: Kurt Woerpel Interview is a huge magCulture favourite right now, for its design as much as its content. Launched in 1969 by Andy Warhol, the magazine, nicknamed 'The Crystal Ball of Pop', features interviews with celebrities, artists, musicians, and creative thinkers. Its trademark is the celebrity-interviews-celebrity Q&A, matched with brilliant photography, and in embracing this format the current creative team have taken it right back to it roots in an Instagram-friendly manner. On the cover of the Summer 2023 edition, it's J(ennifer) Law(rence) interviewed by Cameron Diaz, with her new (R-rated) summer romcom No Hard Feelings just out. Plus! Arlo Parks, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Keiran Culkin, Ethel Cain and more, more, more. On the JournalArt director Kurt Woerpel runs through the previous issue’s typography:‘This brief insight into the typography of Interview is a reminder how complicated it can be to create something that appears simple. And this is the secret to the magazine’s success: a simple concept fullfilled by a strong team passionate about refining their contributions into a large-format celebrity zine. Let’s call it Magazine of the Year.’
