Get Your Swede On

Rush out to your local newsstands and get a copy of CAP & Design magazine — that is, if your local newsstand is in Sweden, as it’s a Swedish language design publication. The latest issue features a rather shockingly large feature article on me, along with a rather shockingly large photograph of me sitting in an East Village café, with a silly grin on my face. The article is about my design career, my thoughts on design, and of course my early experiences as Design Director at NYTimes.com. If you can read the language, I’m sure you’ll find the article, written by Swedish journalist Pierre Andersson, to be very illuminating. English-only readers will have to wait for my forthcoming, full-length profile in The New Yorker. Be prepared to wait a while.

Spread Out

Below: Me, me, me. The cover of the latest issue of CAP & Design, and the six pages of the feature article on me.

Since it was just published, I haven’t even gotten my hands on a copy of the actual magazine yet, and I’m assuming that, at some point, the article will be available online at CAPDesign.se. In the meantime, here are some shots of the layout sent to me by Pierre — he was nice enough to send them, and since it’s the biggest feature article written on me yet, I’m going to forgo any feigned modesty and just show ’em here.
