He has been the art director, editor and publisher of magazines such as BUTT and Re.
When Jop van Bennekom launched Re-Magazine as a graphic design graduate in 1997, he did so with the intention of developing a new form of personal communication. Having cast himself not only as designer and art director, but as editor and publisher, he has since conceived and executed each issue as a single story line from broad concept to the tiniest typographic details. Since launching BUTT, a gay culture magazine - or "fagazine", as he calls it - in 2001, van Bennekom has applied the same intensely personalised approach to that too.
Born in Scherpenzeel in the Netherlands in 1970, Jop van Bennekom studied graphic design in Arnhem and the Van Eyck Academy in Maastricht. As well as redefining the graphic and editorial roles at Re-Magazine and BUTT, he has created a new community by working with a small team of mostly Amsterdam-based writers, artists and photographers to reach readers all over the world

His work:
I like his because it is simple and it is simple to the audience what the cover lines are and it is clear that the header is blocked out and therefore stands out. I like this and I would like to use this in my magazines.
