TAKEAWAY: Today’s Pure Design download is all about how to navigate the reader better through a newspaper or magazine. AND: Magazine covers and Sen. Edward Kennedy: from the Robert Newman collection
Sen. Kennedy’s magazine covers thru the decades
That wonderful magazine designer and friend, Robert Newman has posted an amazing collection of magazine covers of Sen. Edward Kennedy, who passed away this week. The covers span several decades, and I was happy to see such iconic magazines as LIFE and Post in the collection. Visit Bob Newman’s site for the full display of covers. Thanks for sharing, Bob.
The covers range from Rolling Stone to Esquire to Time, and include the talents of George Lois, Annie Leibovitz, Larry Rivers, and more. Really cool stuff for anyone interested in magazine design, or in the amazing career of Sen. Kennedy, the man whom President Obama has eulogized as “the greatest United States Senator of our time.”

Start with creating a map to the journey
Planning a new look for a newspaper or magazine?
Make navigation one of your top three priorities. Ideally, navigation will start on page one (or magazine cover) with clear signals as to where content is, but navigation does not stop there. You also create mini navigators for sections that appear inside.
This Pure Design segment tells you how.
The Impact of the Compact

Download entire first section of Pure Design: Words
Now that I have fully presented the first of six sections of Pure Design on TheMarioBlog, I am offering the entire initial section, “Words,” available for download—all 33 pages of it. This may be useful for those of you saving or printing out Pure Design and will be done following each of the remaining sections. At the end of our journey through words, type, layout, color, pictures, and process, I will publish the entirety of Pure Design in one file.

WAN’s World Trends 2009 Report
The 2009 edition of World Press Trends from WAN/IFRA is now available. I always like to review this report for its complete information on global circulation, advertising and online trends in our industry. All countries in the world where daily newspapers are published are covered in the publication.
This year the WAN/IFRA folks have decided to publish a print version but only make the book available on pdf.
