Expert in Editorial Design
Learn how to transform texts into visual experiences that captivate readers
Editorial design is the visual language of books.
An editorial designer doesn't just organize text and images: they interpret a story and turn it into a coherent, attractive, and readable visual experience.
At Readgulus Classroom, you will learn how to design books from cover to cover, understanding how visual decisions are made that define the identity of a work and its impact on readers.
The art of turning stories into visual objects
Each book is a combination of content, structure, and design.
Editorial design has the mission of translating the content of a book into a clear, attractive and coherent visual experience, using typography, composition, images and color.
In this program you will learn how to develop complete editorial design projects, from the creative concept to the final preparation of files for printing or digital publication.
During the course you will work on key aspects such as:
• Fundamentals of Editorial Design
• Typography applied to the book
