Keith Campbell Sends a Postcard from Germany...

One of our favorite art directors, Keith Campbell, recently wrote us an update on his activities in Hamburg, Germany, where's he's been living and working since June 2006. Keith has been immersed in the world of German tabloid magazines, designing a series of titles that are jammed with color, photos, and type--think Us, Star, People, All You, etc. on mega-design steroids, with lots of photos of Heidi Klum. The covers are crazy, noisy, and chaotic, but also brilliant in their execution. We love what he's doing, even if it does hurt our eyes!

Keith Campbell: One of the best emails I ever received went like this: "Meet me in Hamburg, Germany on Tuesday, April 4 at 1pm for lunch!" It read like some kind of cryptic cold war directive from a sexy Russian operative. Alas, it was an invite from Marc Werthmann, editor of the then-recently launched In Touch Germany. He was on the lookout for a new art director and had gotten my name from In Touch USA's creative director Audrey Razgaitis on one of their fact-finding missions to Bauer Publishing's Englewood Cliffs, NJ offices.
