The Guardian is moving to its new office in King’s Cross, London.
“We are changing absolutely everything. So it is not just a relocation, it’s a reorganisation,” said Sheila Fitzsimons, the Guardian’s head of editorial development.
“Commercial have already completed their reorganisation ahead of their move while we will start with entirely new teams, new workflow processes and new editorial systems.”
Here is an example of how the design team have applied the look of the newspaper to the navigation of the new multimedia facilities.
I like the blue and red colors.
Many years ago, working in Guayaquil, Ecuador, my old friend the publisher of El Universo, Carlos Perez Perasso, showed me his paper’s new building and I was amazed by the vivid colors on the walls.
“Well, why should a newsroom have to look gloomy when there is so much color and light in our country?” he said.
I always remember how proud he was.
And how much I learned from him and his great paper.
