Publisher's Synopsis
"I have spent my 4 decade career as a visual journalist, doing all I can to advance the story in newspapers so that you will read, not just look. To do that has required that I design for legibility, accessibility, and to make the stories easy to read. In this book I outline my methods, and the ways in which you too can become a visual journalist for the mobile first era. Visual storytellers have never been more important. In the mobile era, stories are told through a combination of text, images, video, and audio. The examples I show throughout the book all emphasize the foundation of my work, the WED (Writing-Editing-Design) approach. The cornerstone of Book 3 of The Story is that all design involves story structures, typography, grids and color palettes. The ultimate challenge for the designer is that of accommodating elements on the smallest canvas of all--the mobile phone. That's also what makes it so interesting. The story guides you in the process."--Mario García
