El
Carabobeño.

The newspaper my great-grandfather founded in 1933, in Valencia, Venezuela. Full redesign and digitalization.

The story

El Carabobeño printed its first edition on September 1, 1933, in Valencia, Venezuela. My great-grandfather, Eladio Alemán Sucre, was a twenty-seven-year-old typographer when he started it, and he ran it until he died in 1984. My grandfather, Eduardo Alemán Pérez, ran it for the next thirty-seven years.

The paper has been digital-only since 2016, so the website is the paper. It has to carry the news, opinion, sports, podcasts and video every day, and read well on a phone.

I did the full redesign and digitalization. The brief was that it has to read like a newspaper: a clear editorial hierarchy on a small screen, fast on a slow connection, with every section easy to find.
