Design took center stage: election hinged on visual information design

Article Abstract:

Techniques used to create innovative, clear newspaper design could be applied to ballot design, avoiding the confusion of the 2000 presidential election. Precise wording, clear directions, improved voting devices and procedures, and testing new designs are necessary before the next national election.

How can you say that newspaper isn't well designed?

Article Abstract:

Newspapers that are widely read must be well-designed, if it is design that attracts readers. However, it can sometimes be difficult to separate quality and popularity. Newspapers are increasingly paying more attention to their design but are also losing the trust of their readers and market penetration is falling. Newspapers that continue to sell well have an indefinable quality, but the main attributes shared by outstanding newspapers are originality, high standards, attention to detail and reader value.
