The National Post and Vertical Integration!

The National Post launched its new design on September 27th.
Have a peek at the Post's new look!






Editor-in-chief Douglas Kelly writes:

... we have developed a look that respects the underpinnings of the Post's design -- a unique combination of traditional and modern typography and layout -- while pushing new boundaries and giving the Post a unique, instantly recognizable look. The design changes do not stop with the front-page banners. We have also increased the size of the typeface and bumped up the space between the lines to improve readability. We have standardized the number of typefaces and moved to a cleaner font for charts, graphics and sidebars. And we have introduced recurring design elements that will break out the background to a story, provide the investment angle and detail what's coming next. Great design goes hand in hand with great content, and we have made many improvements on the latter front as well.

Here are side-by-side comparisons of the new and old section fronts.
