GUARDIAN REDESIGN
Guardian Redesign is a redesign proposal for The Guardian's website conceived during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project prioritizes the readability and accessibility of public health information in a context of information overload. Its differentiating approach focuses on the visual hierarchy of verified news over the constant flow of unverified information that dominated digital media.
Design — Web
The redesign incorporates a dedicated COVID-19 section with real-time data visualization segmented by region and alert level. News cards include verification indicators with source badges and last-updated timestamps. Typography was enlarged by 15% compared to the original design to support extended reading sessions. Additionally, a simplified reading mode strips away decorative elements and reduces the interface to essential content.
