Success in editorial design 🛠
Any Editorial Designer must have a solid understanding of design principles. They will strategically use various elements to convey intended messages throughout their work. To create visually appealing and well-structured designs, editorial designers must understand how to combine lines, colour, shape, space, texture, typography and scale.
In the industry Editorial designers use the Apple mac and mainly work within Adobe in design which can be used to create posters, flyers, books and magazines. Editorial designers will most likely be designing for print. It is fundamental to be familiar with bleeds, slug, crop, and fold marks, as well as with ink limits, dot gains, and transparency. They also need a thorough understanding of different file formats and colour systems, as well as paper sizes and materials. Mistakes cannot be made as it would cost a lot.
While browsing for research on the Editorial design industry, I came across a job opening for a Social and Editorial Content Designer at Starling Bank. The position requires an editorial designer with a keen eye for composition, colour, typography, movement, and attention to detail.
The designer must also be familiar with Adobe Creative Suite and Figma. Since the position is based on social media, the employer is looking for a portfolio showcasing exciting work as well as evidence of creative thinking in designing digital assets for a variety of platforms. (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Tik Tok)
I believe I already possess the skills required to be a successful editorial designer, as demonstrated by my work throughout the modules. All I need to do is put together a visually appealing portfolio.
