As I was perusing my local newsagent last night I couldn’t help but notice the surprising cover design of the Daily Star. Covering the Government’s ‘Bangers for Cash’ scheme, the front of newspaper bravely adopted a sparse design with minimal copy, which amongst the myriad of tabloid clutter, stood out like a lighthouse for the lost. I wouldn’t normally pay the newspaper stand any attention, but as I passed, I just couldn’t help but notice. In this instance less was definitely more – it’s not always the ones that shout the loudest that get heard.
