I was at usatoday.com (Gannett) during their relaunch serving as the Senior Art Director. It was an Awesome experience working with such an amazing internal crew of designers & developers. I worked on & was involved with about every aspect of the relaunch, AND it was definitely a team effort. The initial push for the designs were created by the exceptionally talented folks at f-i.com. Projects shown here are the ones I was involved with during & beyond the relaunch effort in either a design direction overview or doing the design myself.

The USA Today +Me app was aimed at creating a unique news source for users based entirely on thier browsing history and related keywords to show the top 5 things a user would be interested in reading - being very mindful that the users on an app would be most likely limited in how much time they had available and we wanted get them to what thier interests were as quickly as possible. Simply put, the more you user it, the most accurate your personalized news would be.
