I'll be following roger black's blog for the semester. Roger Black is a print and web designer who has helped redesign Reader's Digest and Newsweek. It is divided into different sections - industry commentary, point & counter, question & answer and visual commentary. For this week, under "visual commentary", roger talked about the redesigns at LA Times. Roger, who was involved with the redesign process years ago said the new section "Outdoors" looked "dashing". The old font, Ionic No.5 was replaced by Matthew Carter's ('m guessing designer") Victoria font. While newspaper design is not my forte, I am a big fan of the layout of the page. Vertical photos are always a plus to any design.

Another interesting can't miss. The website is in Spanish and is the online version of a Mexican magazine that looks and feels unlike anything you've ever seen. Check it out.
