Daily Register brings a newer experience for the newer generation.
Millennials and Gen Z don’t source news similarly to older generations.
To bring a newer & better experience for Daily Register I went back in time...
When Newspapers were less Boring & More Attractive
I started my investigation on why the newer generations are uninterested in reading the news, so I asked my online acquaintance Google for help and delved deeper into this.
However, being a Gen Z myself I was more or less aware of the results I would find, however Google made my research a notch better by providing me with reliable data.
“Our Research Said That...
More than 75% of people say that digital news is boring & unattractive.
56% say that there is too much or too little content.
38% of people say that they never find topics related to their interests.
And more than 80% say that news websites are all about advertisements and pop-ups.

on how I plan to simplify & make the news-reading experience better?
▸Microinteractions
Interactions provide a more lively experience to users compared to static websites and enrich the product by communicating the brand in a more intuitive and fluid way, and creating a positive emotional effect on the user.
The difference between a product we love and one we tolerate is often the micro-interactions we have with it.
▸Bold Colours & Typography
I didn’t shy away from colours and decided not to go just black and white. I chose a slightly deeper shade of Yellow, which was great for showing the brand’s positive and bold intention.
The brand message is that Daily Register is not a platform which considers news as a negative form of media and they don’t believe in fake stories. Hence the ‘Register Yellow’ as I decided to call it was the best colour to showcase and convey the brand’s vision to the world.
Just like our colours we also wanted a bold typography which is attractive, modern as well as holds the essence of a newspaper. So I went ahead with a serif typeface which resembles our conventional newspapers and also enhances the readability for our readers.
... as we say, “Exploration is the key” I did trials with 5 different typefaces while keeping the readers in mind I found the perfect typeface to match our brand personality.
▸Balance between Images & Videos
Most digital news platforms depend on static images to showcase their story but Daily Register doesn’t. I believe a story should not be frozen like static images and so I decided to add both images and videos creating a healthy balance to make things live on this platform.
▸Attention to Details
I paid a lot of attention on detailing the platform so that the users can get the most seamless experience while getting their daily dose of news.
