Editorial design is an exercise in combining technical detail with artistic flair, showing how the many elements of graphic design can come together in one place. The core components of editorial design are text and pictures, so a keen understanding of typography, layouts, grids and composition is essential. It demands constant reinvention - using and fusing two key elements of graphic design.
It uses templates and sets up rules to follow, which is the technical side, in terms of understanding structure and limiting your choices to make certain statements. But it’s also about taking the rules that you have set up and making something creative from them. Unlike most areas of graphic design, editorial design is an ongoing project – it needs to develop.
