St. Louis alternative weekly unveils print redesign

St. Louis, MO — The Riverfront Times, an award-winning St. Louis alternative weekly publication, is pleased to introduce its redesigned publication, beginning with its November 11 issue, on stands now.

In a blog post published on RiverfrontTimes.com today, Editor in Chief Sarah Fenske writes,

“Astute readers of this newspaper know that a whole lot has changed since we got new owners — and a new editor — this April. We brought back Savage Love. We got a totally new website.

Today we’re unveiling the biggest, and most exciting, change of all: a brand-new look from top to bottom and a larger physical size to boot.

The RFT that’s hitting the streets right now is a little bit taller and slimmer than the square you might have gotten used to in recent years — in essence, it’s a return to the classic alt-weekly size. The paper quality is better. The inside is completely redesigned, with more room for big photographs and full color throughout. Oh, and we’ve even changed our font size. No more squinting to read this newspaper.”

The redesign was spearheaded and executed by RFT art director, Kelly Glueck, working in collaboration with St. Louis-based designer Lilly Huxhold, as part of a larger overall initiative to re-energize the award-winning multimedia publication after Euclid Media Group purchased the property in April of this year.
