Beautiful book. But it's unreadable
Beautiful book. But it's unreadable. It's full of overlong sentences that are indecipherable. The book is both an example of great design, and the garbage-content you end up with when you let a graphic design write. He should have co-written this with a journalist.
One of my favorite books on typography
One of my favorite books on typography. Really gets you to think about more methodical approaches to scaling typographical systems across lots of different mediums. Book is very well constructed and visually saturates you with the very principles discussed.
Almost perfect
Brilliant design, great content, but the writing could be better. It's not the most entertaining of reads, and gets boring when it is stating the obvious (which is often). Having said that, it would be a valuable addition to any designer's library. Francesco’s passion, skill and talent is something to be admired.
Very relevant in today's ad serving obsessed world. Design matters! We must defend its integrity
Brilliant work. F*** all the garbage ad serving platforms for delivering news content being put out there that are destroying the design integrity of editorial work. It's all about the reading experience. This guy gets it.
Worth every penny and a great artifact.
You can judge this book by it's cover: theory, practice, lots of graphics and analysis. Worth every penny and a great artifact.
Great overview
This book is a "must have" for all news designers - regardless of platform. It gives a great overview and good evidence in an industry where too many think and make decisions without scientific justification.
Love it.
I love how much thought as well as design is in this book. Just a great resource! Beautiful looking book as well. (Disclaimer I bought this because my work is in it)
Five Stars
Una maravilla de libro
Great inspiration.
Impeccable book!
Must Have!!!
Best book for designers periodicals and digital versions and infographics I have read ever lately! It has no analogues. Good clear structure of the presentation of information, there are many examples of design of Newspapers, magazines, and IPAD versions

Un libro per tutti fatto da un professionista
Sui contenuti nulla da contestare.. Franchi mostra davvero una conoscenza ed un'esperienza del settore raccontate in modo davvero chiaro e con un tocco di ironia che rende la lettura parecchio piacevole. Scritto in un inglese fluido e comprensibile anche da un lettore italiano, senza abuso di tecnicismi, ma con un vocabolario consono alla materia. La qualità poi dei materiali è impeccabile.. come pure quella delle immagini. Ovviamente anche l'impaginazione grafica non ha pecche, si parla di un professionista del mestiere. Particolarmente gradite le mappe concettuali che, a inizio e fine capitolo, con poche parole chiave tirano le fila del discorso. Consigliatissimo!
Designing News
Questo libro è rimasto nella mia lista dei desideri per molto tempo e finalmente mi sono deciso a comprarlo. Non è un banale libro da sfogliare con immagini di cose interessanti, ma si tratta di un vero e proprio manuale che racconta la storia ed i cambiamenti della stampa editoriale.
La bibbia dell'infografica
Un volume che è un piacere sfogliare, anche per chi ha poca dimestichezza con l'inglese. I testi offrono sicuramente più conoscenze, ma anche solo osservare le scelte stilistiche e l'impaginazione sono fonte di ispirazione. Lo consiglio a chiunque sia interessato a questa materia (meglio ancora se padroneggia l'inglese).
Ottimo libro!
Gran libro! Sicuramente da aver perché spiega quali sono le dinamiche dell'infografica! Impegnativo nella lettura ma merita i soldi, inoltre Franchi è un grande talento del mestiere!
Great book
Great book, very informative. Arrived on time and without damage.
Per collezionisti
Si può paragonare solo all'interno del contesto internazionale, perché si tratta di un libro unico rispetto ad argomento, stesura e contesto. Scritto da un italiano per un pubblico di matrice anglosassone, presenta molti casi virtuosi di prodotti editoriali italiani capaci di superare il vecchio modello editoriale nostrano e mettersi a confronto con lavori di altri Paesi. L'autore mi ha colpito molto con la sua scelta, bravo davvero.
Excellent quality book
Beautifully made and laid out. Quality paper and well written.
ottimo libro consigliato ai professionisti

Designing Designing News
Dieses Buch ist informativ, inspirierend gestaltet und ist gut aufgehoben in der Sammlung eines Designers, den Informations-Gestaltung und -Architektur interessiert.
Un gran análisis sobre los medios de información frente al mundo online
Todavía no he terminado de leerlo porque tiene mucho contenido, pero voy por la mitad y ya creo que vale hasta el último euro que he gastado en él. Un gran y muy interesante análisis sobre las perspectivas de futuro de los medios de información en un mundo cada vez más conectado. Como parte negativa he de decir que el formato del libro es bastante incómodo para una lectura larga, y la letra demasiado pequeña.
