David Curcurito Shakes Things Up at ESQUIRE
For those who wonder what the heck is Esquire doing splashing its covers with those loud type treatments, the hand that inks them is David Curcurito's.

Esquire’s design director for the last four years is just as ballsy as its king, David Granger, making them a match made in publishing heaven as they think up the next “big idea.” Sure, George Lois coined the term and put his own spin on Esquire back in the 1960’s, but this is the 21st century, and the design duo is shredding it up by experimenting with the print world’s latest technologies. Blend that ingenuity with powerful images and Esquire is showing that being fearless can bring new experiences to print.

Most people might know the magazine from Whitney Port and Lauren Conrad’s documented internship at Teen Vogue on the MTV series The Hills. What they might not know is the creative process that transforms ideas from an inspiration board to a polished version of the magazine full of today’s latest fashion trends, inspiration stories, explosive colors and images that roar with their vigor and animation.
