Features
Design is the infrastructure for all journalism content and I see myself as an infrastructure journalist.
News design must communicate with readers by drawing them into a page or screen, encouraging them to interact with and decode information. News sources are often too passive and disposable, damaging credibility and degrading relationships with readers.
Many Web sites and newspapers lack an underlying structure that consistently helps different types of readers - surfers, drillers, consumers - navigate and use information. An infrastructure journalist creates this audience-specific foundation first then considers telling stories with visual elements second.
A design must be driven by other elements of a package. This personality-driven design comes from emotional colors, conversational typefaces, contrasting elements, impact and clean composition.
These are my thoughts and goals while designing for any medium.
