Redesign for Südkurier in Germany

06.03.2010
German daily Südkurier unveiled its redesign produced in conjunction with Garcia Media over a period of 18 months following extensive market research, writes editorsweblog.org.

The newspaper, now entirely in colour and compact Berliner format, also underwent a reorganisation of content flow, aiming to achieve a clearer layout and improved structure, which Garcia calls “a classic look inspired by German elegance” with a five-column grid.

Südkurier is primarily a subscription-based daily, based in Konstanz, and produced in 17 local editions. It has a largely consistent following of 132000 subscribers.
