It must be incredibly satisfying to work in that kind of printing environment. Also, hypnotic.

Tages Anzeiger

Back in January 2009 the guys over at IA were asked to pitch for the redesign of Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger. Their premise was to throw out any of the old rules of newspaper design that didn’t serve the reader and introduce elements commonly found in online design such as highlighting key words to make the page ‘scannable’ - an idea I LOVE.

Sadly, IA didn’t land the gig which is a shame and while Mario Garcia offers some fantastic insights into why they didn’t there’s still plenty of elements in IA’s work that should get the newspaper design world to sit up and take notice. In edition to providing us with a glimpse into their design process, IA have also made their original presentation to the client available for download. In short there’s a wealth of information to pour over so get pouring.

All of this has also reminded me of the inspiring talk given by Jacek Utko at TED in March 2009 on the subject of how design can save newspapers.
