At least, for a news organization. It’s not an interactive graphic, it’s a part of the article itself. To get to the conclusion, you have to scroll through the graphic. And it makes its point.
Or lack of a point.
Precisely.
BBC News – Go Figure: Do we understand risk of mobile phone use?.
In “web time” a few years is a long time, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that BBC news has redesigned their website again. But they have, and I was.
They seem to have fit more whitespace in, which I think I like. But there’s still a heavy use of flash. Boo. Can an iPad user get some love?
BBC appears to have sent the redesign of their website public last night. When I checked the news page this morning, it looked like this:
My initial impressions are favorable. They’ve retained the main red color, while still making it a bit less forceful. Everything is basically in the same locations, but I can tell that there is more whitespace in the design. Remember, in web design “whitespace is your friend”.
Not having spent much time on the rest of bbc.co.uk, I can’t really comment on it, though it does look like the redesign spans the whole site. I wish I had a screenshot of any part before the redesign. (Though if you just want to look at one, there are plenty on Flickr.)
