Every time I set up a photo shoot with someone (I'm a mag art director) the web bods piggy back on to it and send a video crew along to interview the subject at the same time. Then I get a call from the photographer the next day saying "the shoot went great but I could have done without the video people getting in the way"<BR/><BR/><BR/>Were all the interns in that Jessica Alba video grown in the same laboratory?londonleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431179744928331353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-45612785578327491002008-06-24T01:50:00.000+01:002008-06-24T01:50:00.000+01:00It's a ver god video piece but profreeding the cre...It's a ver god video piece but profreeding the credits might have spotted the 'Retaurant'.office pesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15516888180507856752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-13016285471722699892008-06-23T22:33:00.000+01:002008-06-23T22:33:00.000+01:00Heh, me too!

Whither the great days of the magazine when it had a double-sided poster with a hot chick on one side and Harry Hill astride a giant badger on the other? I also find it fascinating that when someone from The Sun is interviewed, Rebekah Wade never appears, but instead one of her 'minions'.Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01914896847679973163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-88102316987129058362008-06-23T20:49:00.000+01:002008-06-23T20:49:00.000+01:00I suspect the RW team are cunningly employing the ...I suspect the RW team are cunningly employing the 'boy-band' principle: ie, the young pretty band prance around in the foreground. <BR/><BR/>And hidden in the background on the keyboards doing all the work is the fat bearded middle-aged producer/manager - doning a 'Boy' baseball cap in a futile attempt to blend-in.<BR/><BR/>Also, it's reassuring the know that Loaded is as facile and unreadable as it ever was - even now that it's apparantly edited by Superhands from Peep Show. <BR/><BR/>And I think there's definitely a horror movie to be made with some Jason/Freddie type bumping off the WASP interns from Seventeen magazine one by one, perhaps wearing a Bill Clinton mask. <BR/><BR/>I do remember two young beautiful hipsters who once fronted Whistle Test back in the 80's.

My eldest daughter works on a magazine where one of their little traditions is to answer a little question every week on the staff block. She rang me and said "how shall I describe what you do for a living?" So I told her. Few days later her younger sister texted me and said "What's a hack?"David Hepworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03541581777824775884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-67040099343632091832008-06-23T17:27:00.000+01:002008-06-23T17:27:00.000+01:00Dylan Jones, Alexandra Schulman, the Editor of Gra...Dylan Jones, Alexandra Schulman, the Editor of Grazia - in today's Independent media section we're told these editors embody their brands, and that all good editors should do this.<BR/><BR/>I've no doubt.

Shame it’s the US bunch instead.<BR/><BR/>But they’re a good choice to prove your point. RW staff are expected to live the magazine’s ethos (running is good for you, anyone can do it, etc) - one reason I left was that I wasn’t really interested in the semi-compulsory lunchtime training sessions. As you say, the staff on men’s and women’s mags aren’t always quite such perfect representations of their brands.TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953081013855148796noreply@blogger.com
