You can't miss... Visual Editors!

Some of you may have been introduced to this blog already through other classes, but for those of you who haven't, I would like to introduce you to Visual Editors: "graphics, photo, video and design-skilled journalists who share best practices online and through offline training events like Camp VJ." It has a mix of online, newspaper, and magazine based content, much like UnBeige, (which I am also following) but with a broader look at the design industry within the media. 

One of my favorite bloggers on here is Charles Apple, a free-lance visual journalist and former graphics director of the Virginian Pilot and the Des Moines Register. He posts a lot of news of the industry. One of his recent posts is about a designer, Kelley Shaffer, who is a senior at Ohio University and did two covers of the New York Times Magazine as a class assignment. Click here to read the post on Apple's blog and see her designs, which are eye-catching, inspiring and very conceptual.
