BusinessWeek names new creative team

Bloomberg BusinessWeek announced Friday that Richard Turley, Cynthia Hoffman, and David Carthas join the magazine as creative director, design director, and director of photography, respectively.

The former photo, design and creative directors have left the magazine in the past few weeks due to buyouts and layoffs.

In their newly appointed roles, Turley, Hoffman, and Carthas will work closely together to lead the design of the print publication, including art, photo, and graphics. They will report to Bloomberg BusinessWeek Editor Josh Tyrangiel.

“Our ability to attract three of the most creative visionaries in publishing is a testament to Bloomberg BusinessWeek’s continued influence in the media world,” Tyrangiel said in a statement. “Richard, Cynthia, and David’s unique and extensive experiences in the design field make them invaluable additions to our team. I look forward to working with them on our upcoming relaunch and beyond.”

Turley joins Bloomberg BusinessWeek from the Guardian. During his decade-long tenure at the newspaper, he most recently served as art director of G2, the daily features section. In 2003, as a senior designer, he worked closely with the creative director on the newspaper’s lauded redesign.

Prior to joining Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Hoffman was deputy art director at Time. She previously held several positions at The Boston Globe, including editorial design director, design supervisor, and editorial designer. Hoffman began her career at The Chicago Journal, a newspaper she co-founded, before joining Chicago Magazine as associate art director.

Carthas comes to Bloomberg BusinessWeek most recently from The New York Times Magazine. Previous work has also included Blender, T: The New York Times Style Magazine, Premiere, GQ, and Esquire.
