This is (the new) CNN
Much preferring the BBC, I rarely visit CNN. I’m not a fan of CNN’s reporting but I am a fan of their recent redesign. Here’s a little touch that I like:
The most imporatant bit is big and bold, standing apart from the others by at least two perceptual variables (size, color).
The subdued text gets me thinking, “Oh they have a Work/Life Balance column? Cool what else is there?” but unfortunately that isn’t a hyperlink - only the title of the article. What I do like about the subdued text: it gives you context for the article as well as saying, “yes we have some related articles but the article itself is more important - not the classification.”
An interesting touch is that it’s in ALL CAPS which normally reads as though you’re being screamed at. Because of the small stature and decreased emphasis via color, that effect is minimized, if not wholly eliminated.
Good stuff. I’m glad to see a pro worked on that site.
