Embrace Design


Welcome to "Til Death Do Us Part" — where two newspaper junkies will revel in all the greatness newspaper design has to offer.

We realize newspapers are supposedly on the decline. The economy's rough; the Internet is becoming the go-to for breaking headlines. And maybe we shouldn't have put so much stock in the advertising business model.

But print journalism is not dead. As newspapers continue to circulate, their page designs will become even more crucial to drawing readers away from their glowing screens and back to the reliable newsprint broadsheets.

In fact, the Internet makes news design more accessible, more necessary and easier to share. The front page design of most newspapers worldwide is a few clicks away. But you already know this.

We are here to show you a few things you may not know about news design. Maybe you will even learn to love it as much as we do. Or at least appreciate it for the time-consuming, calculating creative process it is.

So stayed tuned for an archive of news design — the best, the worst, the artists behind the graphics and why it all matters.

In the meantime, take a second to pick up your morning edition and see what its design team slaved over the night before. Go ahead. Tear it apart. After all, design is all about the reader.
