Just what is the visual editing of headlines, stories, and newspapers?
What is this?
DesigningTheNews is a series of visual experiments which explore the news in various ways to encourage new ways of understanding information. The source of information for this project will come from the Guardian newspaper.
Why do this?
Everyday all over the world millions of people read the news, but often give little regard to the way it’s presented. The aim of the project is to develop structures, patterns, and exciting visual techniques to effectively present information.
How is this done?
Besides some early experiments with info graphics, the main focus of the project has been on data visualisation. With each piece created the perspective has shifted between the importance, the popularity, and the structure of the information.
What are the outcomes?
A series of print media, with examples of how certain aspects of the project would work in everyday real world scenarios. These would include A1 size posters for display, and supplement prototype ideas for inclusion into the Guardian paper.
This project is not affiliated with the Guardian newspaper in any way. Information taken from the Guardian to create some of the work was the personal choice of the author.
