MG specialist Denise M. Reagan has created a new stylebook for The Spokesman-Review's redesign. The guide has already been in use in early training sessions and will be a key part of the implementation of the new design.

Beyond the basic style nuts and bolts, Reagan worked closely with the design and graphics staff to make a guide that explains the paper's evolving visual journalism philosophy as it moves to the 50-inch web, changes its section cover approach and begins working with new typography and a refined color palette.

Watch for a downloadable PDF copy of the new Spokesman-Review stylebook after the Jan. 30 launch. We hope other papers can benefit from the lessons we have learned in making the guide.
