Liquid News

Ara, a prominent  media outlet, sought a digital transformation to boost subscriptions and elevate their digital experience. We stepped in to redefine their digital strategy, infuse a growth-driven mindset, and craft a seamless omnichannel Design System for their app and website.

Our approach was grounded in two key insights. First, news is liquid; staying on top of the ever-changing current events is like trying to wrangle chaos. Our design and CMS were engineered to make news modular to write and responsive regarding distribution.


The second insight was that there are diverse ways to consume the news. We championed three distinct reading styles to shape the information architecture: Immediate, In-depth, and Editorial Perspective. We also identified three user interaction levels: Reflective, Emotional, and Critical.

Below, you'll see our results and choices throughout the project. We hope you find it as intriguing as we did. Let's dive in!

CREATING A NEWS SYSTEM

The news changes constantly. They can expand to fill entire pages or disappear into a small headline at the bottom of the page. Our design was based on multiple co-creations with journalists.

3 ways to read reality. 3 ways to navigate the app

Among readers, you'll find those who subscribe to a newspaper for the unique editorial visions of the bylined journalists. There are the ever-curious souls, always craving real-time updates on unfolding stories. And then, there's the no less essential group that hungers for greater depth, more data, and a broader perspective – they don't just skim the news; they yearn to grasp the complete picture.

Each journalistic genre has its own language. Therefore, we designed tailored narrative structures for different types of journalistic content (news articles, opinion pieces, interviews, feature stories...).

The typographic set used by Diaria Ara in its print format is a distinctive hallmark of its brand. That's why we integrated this typography into the digital platform, creating a connection between both channels and maintaining visual consistency that resonates with its readers.

We designed experiences that allow the reader to connect with the community, interact with journalists, and communicate with other users.
