Today one of my favourites newspapers Liberation of France launches a new design developed by Rampazzo & Associes. The thing here is that only 4 years have passed since their last redesign in 2003.

Is it because they want to constantly innovate their image?

Is it because the newspaper crises is worst in France than in any other country?

Is it because the co-founder and director Serge July left the paper?

Is it because french people have high-speed DSL? (Libe was also the first French daily to have a website)

Is it because they want to win the french design race?I

s it because the new capacity for full color?

Can not wait to have a copy in my hands. 

…by the way, I was looking for the march 11th, 2003 edition in ebay… yeap, the paper edited by Philippe Starck.

Found it! £495.00!!!!! (immediate payment required)
