The article is excellent. A suggestion to further development on this matter: I'd like to know more about how these experts, as Black and García, became top names in newspaper design. And how newspapers are choosing their design projects and specialists these days.

Just a small correction: images 3 and 4 are inverted.

Newspaper is one of the

Newspaper is one of the oldest media we have and with no clue of getting it as old or outdated one till now.I agree that news paper designing is an interesting job and trying to affect the day to day life of people.I think this skill requires creativity and emotion so that they can connect to themselves to their viewers.

The contents of each

The contents of each newspaper changes from day to day, yet the overall arrangement and the paper's visual feel rarely change at all -- just enough so you can tell one day's paper from the next.They may work together on one project and compete on the next. And since they are brought in for a specific project and then go on to another, their role is a little like that of the Lone Ranger: riding into town, righting wrongs, and riding out again.These all contribute to the look of the paper, and that look is what readers respond to, unconsciously, as much as the paper's editorial position or its reporters' verbal skills.

Newspaper design is a funny

Newspaper design is a funny business. It affects everyone -- at least everyone who reads a daily paper, or who even glances at the headlines while strolling past a newspaper-vending box. But most people are only familiar with the look of their own local paper, and maybe one or two others; even frequent-flyers don't necessarily read a variety of papers as they travel. Naturally, as both the editor and the designer of this book, I'm the last person you should trust as an objective observer. But in my unabashedly partisan way, I suggest that you check it out.

The requirements of

The requirements of newspaper typefaces are rigid. First of all, they have to hold up under extremely poor printing conditions; even the latest improvements in printing technology for newsprint haven't changed that fundamental fact. Cheap paper, fast presses, quick turnaround.Much of the new design, and re-design, in newspapers these days is done by a fairly small number of specialists who take on projects all around the world.Almost unnoticed in all the cries of doom for the printed newspaper in an age dominated by television and the Internet is the way so many papers have spruced themselves up, sharpened their focus, and adopted much more sophisticated visual palettes than they ever had before.
