The problem

A paper newspaper had to move to a paid online subscription model while it kept producing print.

What was done

  • Led the technical move to an online subscription platform.
  • Designed the web interface: home page, articles, long-form reportage, galleries, maps, columns, news briefs, mobile.
  • Built interactive storytelling features, among them the special project La route bleue des âmes, and internal tools that sped up the newsroom.
  • Illustrated articles and print covers, and produced social video: timelapses, Instagram stories, Cinema 4D motion.
  • FFF World Cup 2018 supporter guide: the French Football Federation's official guide for fans travelling to Russia, about 80 pages of host cities, practical information, a phrasebook and the match calendar. Kevin is credited as project lead.
