As of this Monday, the Erasmus Magazine<\/em> website has a completely new look. It has a different layout, new colours, more space for photo reports and is more accessible to everyone. “It was a lot of hard work, but I am proud of our new site”, says editor-in-chief Wieneke Gunneweg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Erasmus Magazine<\/em> (EM) site is now available for everyone to see. “And we are very happy about that”, says editor-in-chief Wieneke Gunneweg. “It was a lot of hard work, but I am proud of our new site, proud that it has become more accessible to everyone. Having an attractive website is great for us \u2013 we look at it every day \u2013 and for our readers. I hope they will read our stories with renewed enthusiasm.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EM site was due for a technical update. “We seized that moment to work on our corporate identity and appearance. With the use of our new colours, we make a distinguish between facts and opinion: the orange-brown stands for news and background, and purple for opinion, such as columns and letters to the editor. We also take more space to clearly explain what EM<\/em> is and what we stand for.” At the top of the site, we emphasise that EM<\/em> is the independent news platform of Erasmus University, while at the bottom of the site we show our core values and links to, for example, the editorial charter and our journalistic code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New look<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The previous corporate identity dates back to the time when Erasmus Magazine was also published in print. EM has been solely online since 2018. Graphic design agency Unit20 was commissioned to develop the new style. “What struck us during our research was that higher education media sites use a lot of colour”, says Maud van Velthoven of Unit20. “Other news platforms often use a lot of white and one signal colour, usually red. We wanted EM<\/em> to be somewhere in between.” That still means a lot of colour, but in keeping with EM<\/em>‘s values: newsworthy, independent and reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main colour is purple-blue. “We still wanted a clear signal colour”, says Van Velthoven. “It combines the red of urgency and the blue that stands for reliability, and the contemporary feel stands out because it’s not a standard colour for news.” Colours are often a matter of sentiment, Van Velthoven acknowledges. “Mint green, for example, quickly feels commercial because we know it from Douglas. The earthy colours orange-brown and beige used alongside the purple-blue feel down to earth, profound, careful and stable.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t
