시각디자인의 관점에서 본 신문 편집 디자인에 관한 연구

Abstract

Newspaper editing design has gone through drastic, remarkable changes since the late 1990s, when newspaper layouts first started to change. From the point of visual design, this study examines how illustration and layout design are applied in newspaper editing design in practice. Each news media has tried various methods to make its design outstanding among numbers of other newspapers, yet regardless of such efforts, we have to admit that the influence of newspapers has been gradually decreasing. Theory and practice of visual design in newspaper editing, principles of visual design applied in newspaper as a public media, and the usage of illustrations are demonstrating newspapers' efforts to reach out to readers in more emotional, artistic way aside from initial conventional, mechanical images of media. Acknowledging evolution in newspaper editing design is critical at this moment, from various studies in news layout design of past, present and future. This dissertation is to provide a new perspective of visual design to the future design major students, a trigger of innovative editing design studies for the declining offline media, and a new angle of design studies affiliating with online media.
