Article Abstract:
Editor Andrew Jaspan of the Observer, London, believes that redesigning is an important factor in the success of any newspaper. Radical redesigning of the Observer, involving graphics and color, created its image as a news and leisure magazine. Jaspan believes that a colorful front page in Sunday editions encourages a casual and impulsive buying behavior in British readers. He has won several British newspaper design awards for his assignments with Scotland on Sunday, The Scotsman, and the Observer.
