Evolution of design at The Washington Post: Until five years ago, The Washington Post was a sleeping giant in design. At the core of the evolution since is a spirit of collaboration between print/digital design, photo and graphics. Our mantra is “Be Bold” and that takes exciting new forms in print and digitally every day. These changes didn’t happen overnight, though. We’ll examine how to turn print designers into cross-platform designers, pitfalls to avoid and how to constantly change your goals.

Who wants yesterday’s papers? Nobody in the world?: There are predictions about an imminent death of the printed newspaper (often seen as a relic of ancient times) as it is crowded out by digital news media. A mummy, ripe for a museum. Worldwide, the circulation of daily papers has been in decline for years. If we want the printed paper to survive, new approaches and ideas are needed. First of all we, should be more conscious of the practical aspects of this marvelous medium. Designer Koos Staal (NL) shows some new approaches and 99 reasons why we cannot go without printed papers in our lives.
