FREEP.com redesign
I’m not sure when the Free Press redesigned its online edition, but a few minutes ago I checked the site and had my first encounter with it. My initial reaction is that I am not a fan. Granted, it will take some getting used to since I am used to seeing the old format, but there is just something about it that isn’t visually-pleasing to me. It does look more clean to the eye, but the thing I think I don’t like is that is doesn’t really look like a newspaper in terms of layout. Given the falling stats of newspaper readership, though, perhaps the non-traditional design was done purposely.
