Editorial design could be considered as an area where graphic designers' heart remains.

For the past 50 years since the end of the World War, printing industry went through many changes such as from type printing to phototypesetting, and a variety of changes from hard cover books to paperbacks, photograph and illustration books and electronic publications including CD-ROM.
