Design must show that the editor knows what he is doing
Article Abstract:
Editor Andrew Jaspan of the Observer, London, believes that redesigning is an important factor in the success of any newspaper. Radical redesigning of the Observer, involving graphics and color, created its image as a news and leisure magazine. Jaspan believes that a colorful front page in Sunday editions encourages a casual and impulsive buying behavior in British readers. He has won several British newspaper design awards for his assignments with Scotland on Sunday, The Scotsman, and the Observer.

Ten British newspapers are competing for supremacy, existence and readership despite cut-price subscription offers, emergence of high-quality glossy magazines and tabloid inserts. Despite all these, the local tabloid 'Horncastle News' maintains its quality by providing local news on the readers' interests.
