Talk:
Smart Editorial Design: It’s all about journalism.
with Francesco Franchi
It is a challenging time for publications. Obviously many have been replaced by web sites, or blogs, or social media. But if we intensify the visual side of magazines, and intensify the typography, and print them beautifully, we can get readers to pay for them. Enthusiastically.
Really, Francesco?
“Well, it’s working for me. . . . So far.”
This talk took place Saturday, June 18, 2016, at 3:00pm as part of the main Typographics conference schedule.
