Compare the design (in terms of pace and contrast) of an online magazine, blog or website to that of a printed magazine, book or journal.
- What differences can you see between the kinds of design strategies used in the two formats?
- Write down your findings and upload it to WordPress.
For this task I used an article from the lasted issue from National Geographics. I wanted to use this article because it is on the digital page and also in the printed version. You can clearly see that there is much more white space on the digital version. The digital version is also a bit more compact since they are using slideshow on the photos.
On the digital version the type runs more throughout the article. But on the printed version it’s only the caption for the photos on the first pages, and on the last page there is the backstory.
The digital version has also some adds on the sides and between the photos and type.
I do prefer the look on the printed version, it feels more complete and clean to look at.
Digital version.
Printed version.
