Man About Town

Man About Town was a British men's style magazine, its design and photography making it one of the most visually sophisticated British magazines of the period.  Tony Escott was the cover designer. The magazine was the dominant format for graphic design innovation across most of the twentieth century, space where art directors, typographers, and illustrators could reach mass audiences and experiment with layout, photography, and visual storytelling in real time. The Design Reviewed archive holds magazines from across the world and across the century, from the modernist trade press of the 1920s to the underground publications of the 1960s and the style magazines of the 1980s.
