Presse release: a new face and new formula unveiled for Montreal's La Presse

Article Abstract:

Lacava design Inc. undertook the project of redesigning vibrant Montreal's most popular daily newspaper La Presse, and it posed a great challenge to its designers as it was in French and the French language occupied 35% more space than English did. The redesign adopted a modular design, new fonts to provide a contemporary look and different sections of the newspaper are separated by different colors to make for easy navigation and give it a more European than North American look.

News graphics from public relations firms?

Article Abstract:

Public relations agencies are increasingly becoming dependent on news graphics to entice newspaper editors. News graphics allow readers, especially editors, to quickly determine the content of press releases without having to sift through an entire press kit. If editors like the news graphic, then they can ask for an entire copy of the press release via the PressLink system.
