Hyderabad: Below is a slideshow of photos from the start of a two day newspaper design and redesign workshop in Hyderabad, India. These photos were taken by my host V Antony, Business development manager of IFRA India. Antony’s background is in prepress - so hat’s off to him for making some nice documentary images.
The sold out training event brought together editors and designers from Singapore, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and their interest in gaining knowledge is great.
The hands-on workshop included instruction and practice in improving the newspaper design by improving the journalism of the designers, how to manage visuals and package graphics, how to properly apply color and core design principles, as well as techniques to focus the front page and methods to improve design planning workflows.
A tall order to fill in any culture and a need in almost every newsroom. These goals and struggles this group shares are common to all of us who love working in newsrooms and designing newspapers for people who love to read.
I must say I am very proud of the creative energy of this group - I think that joy comes through in Antony’s images. Antony also filled a tape of video footage and as soon as my body compensates for this jet lag, I plan to edit his footage down into a reel to post here on the blog. Stay tuned. I think Visual Editors blogger, TK Sajeev will be posting his thoughts from the workshop on his blog soon.
