✤ What do your readers think about your publication? How would they
describe it?
✤ What do you want your publication to be? How do you want your
readers to describe it?
✤ Describe your readers. How do they read?
✤ How do you merge these lists?

your content & design strategies.

6. Start with content…
✤ How are you telling stories now?
✤ How can that be better based on how your readers read?

✤ Libraries news hole, a new era of visual journalism and a young audience that
is quickly going to the Web for information, the Daily News needs a

This redesign hopes to breathe new life into the Daily News, both
in print and online. We’ll do this by telling stories differently, layering
information in smaller, faster chunks and using more art, both photos
and illustrations.
To shed the boring, outdated image, you, as the designer, need
to be driven. Driven to make every page portfolio-worthy, no matter
how small it is.
This redesign takes each story and makes it into a package
within itself. Every story needs to be finely tuned and tweaked with
words and visuals to make it powerful. Each package design should
be powerful and contribute to a cohesive page design that keeps
readers interested and engaged.
