Story

<p>I have spent my 4 decade career as a visual journalist doing all I can to advance the story in newspapers so that you will read not just look. To do that has required that I design for legibility accessibility and to make the stories easy to read. In this book I outline my methods and the ways in which you too can become a visual journalist for the mobile first era. Visual storytellers have never been more important. In the mobile era stories are told through a combination of text images video and audio. The examples I show throughout the book all emphasize the foundation of my work the WED (Writing-Editing-Design) approach. The cornerstone of Book 3 of <em>The Story</em> is that all design involves story structures typography grids and color palettes. The ultimate challenge for the designer is that of accommodating elements on the smallest canvas of all--the mobile phone. That's also what makes it so interesting. The story guides you in the process.--Mario García</p>
