Redesign of Der Tagesspiegel: Berlin, Germany

Article Abstract:

Der tagesspiegel, one of Germany's most typographically conservative newspapers, consists of a large staff of writers known for the quality of their work. The goal of their redesign was to inform the traditional readers about the constant changes in the Berlin and Germany and to attract the younger generation. The acceptance of photos above the fold on page one and its typographic concept over the selection of Gulliver for its text face are the two moments that made their new redesign memorable.
