In the first comprehensive book on contemporary newspaper graphic design in about a decade, the former editor of U&le ( Upper and lower case ) compiles 13 case studies with many examples of current international trends in newspaper redesign. E.g., one essay is titled "More than you ever wanted to know about nameplates." Berry introduces technological, economic, and cultural factors that drive evolution in the design of this medium; another maven notes the unprecedented rate of change.
