Designing a Publication
Pamela Boyer Sayre, CG, CGL

Basic design issues are important whether you are creating a family newsletter for a few readers, or a quarterly publication to be read by hundreds. This lecture discusses the importance of fonts, type size, white space, and graphic illustrations. Production considerations, such as the type of printing equipment to be used, cost, available people resources, use of color, and frequency of publication are detailed as factors in design.

Samples of well-designed publications will be shown, and the audience will learn to evaluate why a publication is a good design or a poor design.
