The Design Method
                                             ™



A comprehensive approach to publication design
Is it time for a redesign?
  Creating an original design for a new product is a big project

1. Design is a process
   that touches every
   major component
   of a publication.

2. Design establishes
   the visual identity
   and branding of a
   news product.

3. Design defines the
   structure, rhythm
   and visual language
   for a publication.
There is a path to great design
  When the word ‘redesign’ is discussed most people only consider
touching the building blocks of a publication’s visual identity and style


                                    1. Color            5. Style patterns

                                    2. Grids            6. Usage guides

                                    4. Hierarchy        8. Navigation
But, design thinking can do more
Our design process also focuses on visual story training and developing
  best practices in order to take advantage of the new design tools
