DESIGN MASTER CAMP SESSION III
Demens

TOP TEN DESIGN HINTS

Presented by Ed Henninger, Henninger Consulting. Ed began writing his Henninger Helpful Hints more than 10 years ago, in an effort to give editors and designers a quick tip and an occasional trick to do a better job of putting together their newspapers. How many hints has Ed done over that time? At least 300.  For this session, Ed has carved out his Top Ten hints. But wait! There’s More! Ed just couldn’t edit himself down to a paltry ten So, there are more than a dozen or so hints here…each of them focusing on the little things designers and editors need to know. Top Ten Design Hints is a fun session. Ed will show us at our best…and our worst. And he’ll destroy some myths along the way. Your editors and designers will talk about this session for a long time to come. Some of them will ask Ed to share a PDF of his slides with them. And all of them will be delighted that you invited Ed to present his Top Ten Design Hints.
