The Berliner Guardian: C/D?

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I'm dubious about the new size, but the redesign is deeply, deeply dud, it looks like a local paper or a corporate staff magazine. And with the full colour it looks horribly lightweight, lacking the gravity I expect from a serious newspaper. So now, if I want to read a broadsheet, I'll have to buy the Telegraph and become a right-wing git. Which fills me with fear.

Or am I just a Luddite?

I'm dubious about posters who start a thread on a topic directly below a thread with 337 posts on it about the same topic. Get one search button.

Perhaps if you had confined your search to "Guardian"?

Also, the other thread has jokes about Alison Goldfrapp.

I could easily become addicted to refreshing the front page for the "Find A Date" section.

"Contrary to the photo, I DO have two eyes", ahaha, hahaha. I bet she doesn't. Oh yuck, another girl advertises herself as "relaxed", I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT REALLY MEANS. Oh no! And next up is a "relaxed man"!!! Wouldn't be advertising THAT in the PERSONALS if I were you, mate.

it is the polite way of saying he can't get it up?

That comedy podcast marks a new low point in British entertainment. I mean, we're talking sub-Robin Ince levels.

once you get past the homepage it's all exactly the same though isn't it? plus they STILL haven't got the masthead font in synch with the masthead on the newspaper??

the above aside, the new home page is atrocious - FAR too many little boxes of photos and crap to scroll through, and it's all strangely bland

it's as if they think people have screens that are like two metres high. wtf focus group told them this was a good idea?

I think the sizing of the front page is quite clever, *if you have an 18" screen* (which I do). If you scroll past the ad and the masthead so the links are across the top of the page, which is kind of the natural reading position, the picture and main headlines fit in nicely. If you have a smaller screen, I guess you're up the creek though.

It's quite good! Shame the online arts writing is still so appalling, though.

serif headlines and sans-serif body text is making my head hurt!

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 11 May 2007 09:53 (eighteen years ago)

it's totally backwards! plus all those headlines which aren't even bold. it looks like part of the CSS got lost, on the way
