I for one, is not impressed... But then again, I'm hard to impress when it comes to redesigns...

I've been skimming through my copy since lunchtime. It's definitely much easier to read through, but by $deity, it's thick - nearly an inch when folded. Love it :)

It's fresh, vivid and well balanced. I like it.

For a British newspaper the Berliner format is not easy. However the Observer re-design really works.

Above all, on the newstand it still looks like the Observer, but without the awful use of colour the old Broadsheet had. The masthead works, and devoting all the front page to a single story is clearly right.

There are some lessons here for the Grauniad to learn, especially on making the Masthead as prominent as this whereas the Guardian's Masthead disappears, I am afraid, losing crucial impact.

Well done to the Observer design team!

What do you think about using the same typeface (Mercury) for The Observer and for the Reforma redesign projects? Both at the same time and both by GarciaMedia.

On the newsstand in NYC, it looks like a mess.

They're apparently faxing pages over (or maybe sending pdfs) and printing out smeary black-and-white two-section copies of the "International Edition" on overly-thick Berliner-sized bright white paper, and selling them for eight bucks.

I'd have liked to have seen the real paper version...pity!

so its theguardian but it's TheObserver. Hmmm. My retinas love the fact that the observer has dumped those garish colours. Really like the new format, the berliner size is a really good compromise between broadsheet and tabloid and still allows a large enough page to be together a well-designed paper.

congratulations! looks excellent, like I have said before different continents, different colors, different people, different readers, I congratulate for the good use of color and types, perhaps very seemed or similar to Reforma or another Garcia-Media job, so what do you think, if you think I do better, Do it!
