Origins & History
Editorial design evolved alongside print journalism and magazine publishing. Pioneers like Alexey Brodovitch at Harper's Bazaar (1934-1958) revolutionized page layouts, treating spreads as unified compositions.
The discipline emphasizes hierarchy, pacing, and the reader's journey through content. Art directors like Fabien Baron, Neville Brody, and David Carson pushed boundaries while maintaining functional communication.
Editorial principles translate directly to digital long-form content, news sites, and premium blogs. The focus on typography, imagery, and whitespace creates sophisticated reading experiences.
