At my internship at Sheldon Studio* At my internship at Sheldon Studio I worked on a project for their customer Slow News. in which the brief and the mission was to rebrand their digital platform. Slow news is among the winners of the Innovative Journalism Fund promoted by the European Journalism Centre. As a part of the International slow journalism movement movement they are promoting values and actions towards a more conscious and slow journalism. They are against the toxic news mainstream, and are instead offering their customers highly validated stories and information which the readers can follow in forms of series. In our redesign we included user flows where the series are in focus and it’s easy to get an overview of the reading material. We also adjusted the site towards a more user friendly approach in terms of readability. E.g. designing options for the user to change the text size, background colour, or to remove surrounding ‘noise’ like links and footnotes.
