Bloomberg Markets overhauls design staff

Siung Tjia, who joined Bloomberg Markets magazine as the publication’s first creative director in April, has shaken up the staff.

Four positions have been eliminated in his department, including photo editor Eric Godwin.

However, two new positions were created by Tjia and filled.

Amy Berkley is the new director of photography. She was most recently the photography director at the Outdoor Group, where she oversaw photos at three magazines, including Field & Stream.

Lily Chow is the new senior designer, who had been working at Bon Appetit magazine since February. Before that, she worked as a graphics designer at IB Branding in Portland, Ore., and then as a designer at ESPN The Magazine.

Tija had been the creative director for ESPN The Magazine for the past four years and had been the deputy art director at Rolling Stone magazine. Earlier, Tija held art director positions at Calvin Klein’s CRK Advertising, as well as at Barneys New York. He has won awards from The Society of Publication Designers, AIGA, The Type Directors Club, Communication Arts magazine, Print Magazine and Folio.

Initially I loved the way they crammed more content onto fewer pages, with smaller headlines and non-modular layout. But then, inexplicably, they began using two open pages, with barely any type, as lead-ins to their main features. On the one hand, saving valuable newshole space; on the other, wasting it.
