Why magazine Design?
George explains why magazine design appeals to him.
Unlike corporate design, magazines require fewer stages
of approvals, a smaller team of contributors
and allow for continual improvement.

Canadian talent
Frustrated with the lack of confidence in Canadian design talent
and baffled by the perception that
Canadian designers are not
capable of handling large projects, George insists that great
artistic talent
exists in Canada.
As a native of Lebanon, only coming to Canada in 1969,
George talks from experience.
He has seen the work of
Europeans and Americans and contends that there is no
difference in the quality
of work produced or competency
of the designers.

Applied Arts: Representing talent across Canada
Though they are sometimes accused of being "Toronto-centric",
George claims considerable effort is exerted to ensure that each
issue of Applied Arts
represents the work of Canadians coast
to coast.

Magazine Mediocrity
Working in magazine design for over 30 years, George says
he has seen a change in the way magazines
are produced.
When he commencered the emphasis was on expressing the personality
of the magazine and appealing
to a specific reader. According to
George, today magazines seem to be designed with the sole
purpose
of looking "pretty". The result has been a homogenizing
effect. While the overall quality of some
magazines has gone up,
few have maintained any distinctive qualities.

The return to "thinking"
George comments on the computer revolution. While there are
a group of students working in the profession
who were educated
with very little attention to developing problem solving skills and
a great deal of
focus on technological understanding, he feels
certain that a more balanced education is emerging. "The
need
for originality will come back", he says. And already, he insists,
he can see a move to more "basic
communications".
