In these days of declining readership, it’s necessary for
newspapers to do more than run a story with photos. Presentation has become
important for major projects.
The Washington Post became the latest news organization
to blow up its article template to present a feature story in a unique,
immersive format for sportswriter Rick Maese’s profile of professional cyclist Joe
Dombrowski, a 21-year-old from the D.C. area.
Full-width photos, multimedia elements
blended throughout the text and a design that adapts to all screen sizes were utilized.
Said Washington Post Information Designer
Wilson Andrews:
“We wanted to elevate the experience that our
readers have. They come to the Post to read stories from some of the best
journalists in the world. We want our presentation, visual storytelling and the
overall experience that our readers have to match that level of quality.
“The backbone
of the project uses Bootstrap, a responsive
framework developed by Twitter that made it easier to design for all devices.”
