INTRODUCTION
 
Discipline
Editorial design consists of publication media such as newspapers, magazines, and the Web. Complex information structures and short production cycles are the main features of these media while notions such as transparency of editorial structure, clear formal hierarchies, and ease of use constitute the process of lay-out and production.

Role
One could argue that editorial designers perform a key function in today's complex information environments. They provide informational structure and overview and by translating abstract data into meaningful forms.
In addition, editorial designers visualize the content-driven choices with their partners: (text) editors, authors, and publishers while anticipating the cooperation with photographers, illustrators, information architects, screen designers, database constructors, and so on.

Meaningful links
Editorial designers act as mediators:
  • they balance content with context;
  • they design the processes and traffic between various layers of information and meaning;
  • they mix media and contexts while enhancing the notion of informational interconnectivity.

The core of editorial design is the activity of making meaningful links.
