Globe and Mail goes green

Globe and Mail goes green

The Globe And Mail finally unveiled it's new redesign on Friday

Moving away from broadsheet (pic1) to a slightly larger than Berliner format (pic2), The Globe And Mail is now full-colour throughout and uses glossy paper for certain areas of the paper

The new KBA Commander CT presses provide unparalleled colour and registration quality coupled with an extremely fast output. The Globe And Mail prints from six printing plants spread across Canada

Saturday's issue included a fantastic double truck graphic (pic3) by Ninian Carter who is returning to the UK, and Tonia Cowan, which explains the new printing processes and green initiatives the Globe is striving to implement

It is understood that Carter will continue to work for the Globe and Mail

Redesign of The Australian

New grids and visuals with impact

News International's creative maestro Alfredo Trivino, talks about his recent project on YouTube

Trivino's working theory: "trying to create a very organic and flexible design – a content driven design"

Using the colours and tones from Australian art, he approached the new colour palette from the incredibly rich red tones from the earth and the beautiful blues from the skyline of the southern hemisphere

His choice of Times Classic as chief font brings a friendly but authoritative voice to the paper

Trivino has also introduced visuals with impact, by creating real-estate within the page hierarchy and NYT-esq "op-ed" infographics in the opinion and comment section

As with all Alfredo projects, it looks a thing of great beauty, but does not navigate away from the business end of the newspaper industry, and quoted here on theaustralian.com

"When you can deliver high-quality journalism and exclusive content that is very valuable it doesn't matter if you deliver it on broadsheet or on A4 paper," he says. "The future is more positive now than ever because the possibilities are endless."
