The Future of Newspapers
I recently sat down with Gary who was writing his graduating thesis on the topic of newspapers. Because of my background in traditional and online news media he wanted to pick my brain about what I thought were the real issues concerning the future of the medium.

The starting point was the clean up of a trusted and familiar logo in order to extend it online and then the redesign of the digital ‘look and fell’ for the newspaper.
