A redesign of The Daily Herald was unveiled for readers Tuesday, Jan. 15.
The new look features a new “The Daily Herald” logo in the top left side of page one, with each word stacked on top of each other. Next to the logo is a large space promoting interesting stories not on the front page with graphics and links to their locations inside the newspaper.
Other features of the redesign include a more modular design with easier to read type and headlines centered above all stories. Also included were new section and page labels, new jump heads and new info boxes. The entire print publication was part of the redesign including the classifieds.
The redesign process started in late September when Henninger Consulting was hired to team with newspaper staff to update design patterns and layout techniques to bring a more contemporary look to the newspaper.
Publisher Titus Workman stressed throughout the process, the focus was on making The Daily Herald easier to read and more comfortable while continuing to provide the best and most comprehensive coverage of current news and local events.
