Design is a crucial editing function that enhances readability through various strategies. Designers skillfully combine words and images to create an engaging narrative. Photographs illustrate while captions convey messages, and effective headlines capture attention while stories provide depth. Each design element, such as margins, gutter, and column grids, serves an important role in layout and organization. Understanding measurements like picas and points ensures precision. Enhancing visual communication involves thoughtful placement and spacing, ultimately guiding the reader's experience.
