Covering every aspect of newspaper design from typography to
photography, from redesign to the specifics of a design stylebook,
this volume is an essential text for use in graphic journalism
courses and an effective reference source for editors and
publishers. The author coins the phrase Total Page Concept (TPC).
By use of this term, he demonstrates the importance of placing
graphic elements on a page so that they complement one another. On
the TPC page, all elements mesh. Typography, photography and
illustrative art are as important to each page as are thorough
writing and careful editing. This scholarly text includes more than
200 examples from newspapers throughout the United States, 60
interviews and citations plus statistical tables that show how
editors use various graphic elements in their publications.
Divided into six sections, Elements of Newspaper Design shows
how graphics and text must complement one another on a TPC page.
Sections are: Basics of the Total Page Concept; Principles of
Design; Building Blocks of Typography; Design Creativity; Finishing
Touches; Putting It All Together.
