What good designers do 1. Advocate for readers. 2. Understand how visuals introduce stories. 3. Appreciate brevity, depth and storytelling in all forms. 4. Tap the elegance of simplicity, in both form and function. 5. Value packaging, white space, alignment and grids. 6. Know news judgment — and when to break the mold. 7. Show off the good stuff.
