Just as I was coming to terms with the newspaper industry dying, I got a shocking dose of reality that magazines may not be that far behind. According to the New York Times, due to financial difficulties, Condé Nast is closing it's classic (almost iconic) Gourmet magazine in addition to 3 other publications. As a publication designer, I'm terribly saddened by this loss. While I was not often impressed with Gourmet's design, their food and lifestyle photography was absolutely beautiful and inspiring, and the way their articles blended cooking and travel (my two favorite topics) was incredibly smart, thoughtful and entertaining.I'll be OK. I'll move on. But please, just don't take away my Bon Appétit.
