You probably haven't caught your breath yet from the LAT's addition of vertical rules, but The Lawrence (Kan.) Journal-World also made a few changes this week. Not many design changes, designer Chris Royer e-mails. A change from Interstate Bold to Interstate Black Condensed for more punch, a "quick read" section on 2A, dedicated nation and world pages and other reorganizing. Chris says:
"The big change was scrapping our traditional features sections — Arts&Living, Food, Faith, and such — for a daily section called "Pulse," with the idea that we can be more responsive to current events and won't have to confine types of content to specific days. All entertainment news isn't restricted to Fridays anymore, for example."The work was done in-house, building on a Mario Garcia redesign from a few years back. Here's some of the new stuff (thanks, Chris!):
