Maybe you've heard Arem Duplessis (design director New York Times Magazine) is leaving New York Times for a company called Apple.

Cause of this i like to post my interview with Arem that appeared
one year ago in The Coverjunkie Magazine

REM's FAVORITE COVERS 2011:

- Domenica (Italy):
“It’s nice how they fabricated these organic objects to give them more of a geometric form. The colors really pop and I like the use of type and imagery. I’m sure it was all well thought out but the final execution feels very natural.”

- The Gentlewoman (Netherlands):
"I love the simplicity of this cover: the line is short and it says everything you need to know. I’m also crazy about the black and white portrait matched with that beautiful blue background.”

- ESPN (US):
“I’m really into this image. The two divers against that blue cloudy sky is certainly very memorable. The logo type in a transparent red was a great choice. It pops without getting in the way.”

- Vanity Fair (US):
This cover is just beautiful in every way. It’s never easy getting this much type on a cover and they managed to do it with elegance. But what really stands out is the beautiful portrait of Angelina Jolie.”

- Hot & Cool (UK):
“This cover is just so damn simple and that’s what makes it fantastic. It’s cool and confident. Just perfect for a hip little fashion title.”

- Complex (US):
“Sexy type, sexy cover. What more can I say?”

- Form (Switzerland):
“Love the volcano smoke rising out of the collar. Not sure what it means, but it looks very cool.”

- Complex (US):
“This cover is dope for two reasons. (1) I’m a big Rick Ross fan and (2) it made me laugh. Great concept.”

- New York Magazine (US):
“I love the great big hair matched with the great big type on this New York cover. It’s an eye-catcher for sure”

- Little White Lies (UK):
“I’m not sure how this cover was executed but it’s pretty damn beautiful. It just glows and I love how the imagery interacts with the logo.”
