Website Redesign - Reportera

Hello guys, for this redesign I focused on finding ways to make the live website more aethetic and modern using the fundamental elements of design.

This is the live website.

Problems

  1. Too many font families were used, showing a lack of consistency.

  2. For a news website, relevant pictures are lacking.

  3. Navigation is cluttered.

  4. Columns are repeated unnecessarily.

  5. Brand color isn't maintained.

Redesign

Solutions

  1. I used a consistent font, Roboto, throughout the design.

  2. Pictures relevant to the articles were added to the design.

  3. Navigation was rethought; categories were simplified.

  4. Three main sections were created; Latest, popular, and others.

  5. The stand out brand color is green, so it is used for thin lines, categories, and navigation.

Summary

The live website is very simple, and I assume it's very intentional so in my design I made sure to maintain that.

That said, I included simple design principles aimed at making the website more consistent, vibrant and alive.

Thanks for learning with me!
