Mario Garcia has been described as the most in-demand newspaper designer on the planet, but he never trained as a designer.
He talks to Upgrade Media about what motivates him, how news publishers need to rethink their formats, mobile first and what we can learn from children’s books of the 1920s.
Mario Garcia, who has worked on more than 700 news projects, is a senior advisor in news design at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism.
