Good/Bad Design by Brandon Twichell

While this class may not focus so much on the design aspect of journalism, it still plays an important role to our readers. The eye is a powerful organ in the human body, and the way it focuses and moves about the page can make or break you. Info-graphics and photographs are great focal points as long as there is not a huge clutter of them on a page. This goes for all media platforms, including web, newspapers, ads, and magazines. Symmetry is my personal favorite type of good design to use. Not only is it easy on the eyes, but it also gives the reader a sense of balance and structure.
