The Sunday Times newspaper redesign
Co-designer Remi Harasz and I were asked to redesign The Sunday Times newspaper over six to 12 months. This was the first time in its history that it was getting a complete overhaul. I introduced a completely new font family that was condensed and had multiple weights along with a slab font already in use. The idea was to energize the pages with distinct colour coding for each section. Templates were createdto cater for designers and sub-editors using InDesign as well as News Corp in-house program used for basic layouts. The Insight news features section was the first one that I gave a typography overhaul to change its feel. Our new section headers were worked in throughout the paper. I worked on Insight and a new entertainment section, ste. I also played with a new masthead. The cover mock-ups show diversity. The end result is a massive step towards creating more organic and creative content. The feature spreads break up the paper and take showcased news stories to another level.
