One of the best experiences this writer has ever had was spending time with George Lois at his Manhattan apartment in preparation for his December 2010 14-page feature in Juxtapoz. Not only was it an interview, history lesson, and New York Yankees debate, it was a personal discussion and advice session about capitalizing on potential. And hence Lois' new book, Damn Good Advice (For People With Talent!).

In the 1960s, NYC-based Photo-Lettering Inc was a leading foundry of type, with an array of styles in Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and Psychedelic alphabets. Of course, that being the 1960s, digital fonts took over, and Photo-Lettering lost all steam.

A few months back, I (first person for this post, I, the web editor) sat down with George Lois at his Manhattan apartment for a conversation about his career and magazines. Most of that conversation was published in our new December 2010 Juxtapoz, but for the next few weeks, we are posting bonus coverage on the website. We think its important. In this story, George Lois talks about one of his most important and favorite Esquire covers . . .

Sometimes, people call us to talk about our new issues a few days before we even see copies. In our humble attempt to be ahead of that curve, we just received copies of our December 2010 Juxtapoz, and now you can see it after the jump . . .

We don't normally report on too many other magazines. But seeing that our upcoming issue of Juxtapoz (December 2010), has a George Lois interview and feature, we share the sentiments with all magazine geeks around the world after they speak to the legendary cover designer and ad man.
