New-Look Guardian
Harry Potter is to launch the new-look Guardian a week Monday, the Guardian itself reports.I actually, sad to say, find this quite exciting. Not because I often buy the paper, cyling to work and its excellent website have put paid to that, but because I have always been quite interested in newspaper design, and in Britain at least there's not been a lot to shout about at the national level since the Guardian's radical relaunch back in 1988, and the introduction of colour with TODAY, probably about the same time.
Obviously we have had the slow demise of the broadsheet, but neither the Independent nor especially the Times did a very good job of turning tabloid. The Guardian appears to have put a lot of thought and effort into it and so should look good.
