Fantastic Man vs. Adam Levant

A few months back, I found myself in a waiting area sitting next to a famous graphic designer. This designer, who was formerly a big magazine collector, told me that he hates magazines because, “they all look like, or try to look like, Fantastic Man to me.”

While looking through Antoine bookshop in Beirut last week, I stumbled on “Adam Levant,” a magazine “for the man of the Middle East.” I snapped this shot to show you just how much this attempts to look like Fantastic Man, in both design and concept…guess the magazine cynic was right.
