TAKEAWAY: It is Monday and here are some interesting pages we like. In design, it is those first 10 seconds that count. These pages manage to get our attention.
It is Monday and here are some interesting pages we like.
The latest issue of The Economist puts Spain on the cover, and how effective this is, a play on words. I understand that many Spanish readers are not too happy with a cover that accentuates the actual “pain” they are going through, or perhaps the use of the iconic bull, which is always so visually tied to the country of my ancestors.
However, if the purpose of a cover is to seduce, and if it can do it while sporting creativity and simplicity, then this cover from The Economist does it excellently well.
Bild and the Olympics
In its Sunday editions, Bild of Germany carried one of its double page graphics, this time related to shoes worn by famous Olympic athletes thru the years.
I show you here both the way the double page appeared in the print edition, and on the iPad.
