USA Today Redesign

Laiba Tahir

Overview 👋

As, I was going through the daily news articles on USA Today's online platform, I couldn't help but notice the disorderly typography and lackluster user experience. Inspired by this challenge, I made it my personal crusade to revolutionize the platform's design in a manner that not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also elevates its user-friendliness.

This is what "USA Today" present website looks like🥱

1-Advertisement box dominating the page

The previous advertisement box was taking up valuable space on the page, leading to a cluttered and overwhelming design. By reducing its size and strategically placing it to the right, I was able to create a more streamlined and efficient layout, allowing users to focus on the most important content
