This week on UnBeige... the new creative director of Maxim

Well the news specifically pertaining to magazine and magazine design has been a little sparse lately on UnBeige, so I went with this UnBeige news blurb published today, April 29: Dirk Barnett Named Creative Director of Maxim. UnBeige reports that Barnett is known for redesigning Blender Magazine before it recently folded, and it was announced today that he had been hired by the Alpha Media Group to be Maxim's new creative director. Before Blender, Barnett worked for the spin-offs of New York Times Magazine - Key and Play - where UnBeige reports that he oversaw art direction and design. Finally, Barnett has won 9 medals and 93 merits from the Society of Publication Designers, so it will be interesting to see if Barnett brings any type of redesign to Maxim.
