Really Interesting Group is a multi disciplinary organisation working in post digital design. Partners work independently or collaboratively and share resources across the group. We collected some things from the internet we thought would work well on paper and we made it into a newspaper with a limited edition run of 1,000.
You can read more about the project and see some great photos via noisydecentgraphics blog.

I stumbled upon this through http://www.thishappened.org/ which I normally would just tweet or bookmark on delicious and move on, but it was just too cool to skip. I love the design of their printed newspaper. The lines are so crisp and clean, “I wanted to avoid it looking like a newspaper that a designer had been let loose on. Graphics every-fucking-where. Something you might see from a bad brand”. Objective accomplished!
What about the font Robert? Well, “The brief was to be able to read it in bed without glasses on. So I wanted the type to be biggish and nice and clear”. Mission Accomplished! The American newspaper industry could have used these types of designs a while back. I know redesigns won’t save an entire industry, but maybe the few surviving newspapers will take some design cues from this project?!
