UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS OF

NEWS DESIGN
  SHAJAN C KUMAR, NEWS DESIGN EXPERT FROM INDIA
Print media is still the prime news source in India. Along with an
  English newspaper everyone here reads a vernacular newspaper too.
They watch TV, browse news online and iPad, listens to radio and mobile..
          So there can’t be a compromise on content & design!
India is place where
   we celebrate

 ‘colours’
 for every festival.
  And we love it.
Typography
 stands tall on every
   communication.
Legible and readable
 is the only demand.
  But if you can add
    bit of stye to it,
   nothing like that!
Beauty
  is not just a feeling
    of the beholder.
There is a reason for it.
And if you put things in
 symmetry, everything
comes in order. Human
     eyes enjoys it!
Always keep the
 content traffic
 on a move. You feel
     relaxed then.
Let there be red lights.
You have to hold your
     consumers in
  good humour too.
Every display should
    have a reason.
   Patchworks
 eventually shows up.
So never attempt that.
   Let it be simple.
 That means no more
     decorations!
Use of the
 white space
 is very important.
 But you have to be
 very careful. There
    should be an
explainable harmony
     even there.
Always try to avoid
   cluttering
     the content.
 Human brain has a
problem in absorbing
  too many content
      at a time.
 Give them a break!
Even now a
     picture
   is equivalent to
  thousand words.
But then you have to
  put sense to that!
Always go for content
     rich pictures.
Do you think
deadline limits
      don’t matter?
  You are wrong then.
    It does! Because
    whatever you do;
if it is not reaching the
  consumers on time
    they won’t wait.
 They will move on...
Always celebrate DESIGN for its perfection and user-friendly
approaches. And mind that you are supporting the CONTENT.
  You can never make good DESIGN without good CONTENT.
