A Few Google News Design Changes
Thursday, July 21, 2011
Posted by Jasson Schrock, User Experience Designer
Beginning today in the U.S. English edition of News, you may notice a few changes in the look and feel. This is part of a
Google-wide initiative
to improve your experience, and today we’re happy to extend this to Google News.
For starters, we’ve cleaned up the Google News homepage a bit. With fewer visual distractions and less clutter on the page, it should be faster to find the news important to you. The editions menu and “Personalize” button at the top should be easier to see. The “Personalize” button links to your
recently consolidated personalization settings
including your preferences for topics and favorite sources. Throughout the site, all the features and functionality are still there, but this updated design is aligned with the new consistent look across other recently updated Google sites like
Gmail
,
Maps
and
Search
.

After
In the coming months, you’ll continue to see more improvements to the layout and design of the site, and we’ll also expand internationally.
