I worked on Sports Illustrated For Kids magazine from its launch in 1989 to 1998, first as assistant AD and then deputy AD. The art director, Rocco Alberico, gave the designers a lot of latitude, and we practiced a “more is more” kind of design. Every feature looked like it came from a different magazine. It was a great place to try new techniques and indulge in various styles. I discovered I liked to draw type on the computer. I designed many logos for departments and some elaborate headlines (see typography section for more examples).
