When most people think of publishing, they imagine authors and words. Yet the visual and structural design of a book is just as important in shaping the reading experience. Editorial design is not merely decoration—it is an art and craft that influences how readers interact with content.
Typography, layout, page size, margin width, font choice, and cover design all contribute to the book’s identity. These elements can subtly influence tone, clarity, and even meaning. A poorly designed book, regardless of its content, can frustrate and confuse readers, while a well-designed one can elevate a simple text to a work of art.
At INTI EDITIONS, editorial design is treated with the respect it deserves. We educate the public on its significance through hands-on workshops and exhibitions. We also collaborate with designers who see the book as both a reading device and a visual object.
Design decisions also have cultural implications. For example, the way a multilingual book presents its languages can influence perceptions of equality and representation. Likewise, the choice to use sustainable materials or artisanal binding techniques reflects broader values.
By bringing editorial design to the forefront, INTI EDITIONS hopes to cultivate greater awareness and appreciation for this vital aspect of publishing.
