In the large reform project my studio is currently working with for the Finnish media group Mediatalo Keskisuomalainen the project scope is to create one website for more than 60 newsbrands. Here is some on the w.i.p and process.
We set up the project in design sprints, starting up with wireframes, and combined the work with several workshops for the team. One good method we worked with is the post-it notes w-shop for finding out the structure for the front.
One of the great benefits in the project with developing the new digital design is to work together in Figma. It feels in many ways like the best way for developing digital editorial products, there is, now.?
The main benefit with Figma is of course to prototype design, along the different steps in the process, so that the design get’s realistic and is easy to discuss.

I started the project with the mobile design and scaled it up for the desktop design after the mobile design was designed. In Finland mobile is really first and most users will read the stories with the smallest device.
To design systems like newspapers in digital or print the style guide is essential. I love how easy it is to set up grids, styles, color and components in Figma, easy for everyone in the team to see and use. The benefit is also that it is so easy to continue the development for a team when you work together in the same environment.
The team in Copenhagen is me Anna Thurfjell; creative director, annathurfjell.com and in this project I work closely with #steffengammelgaard, front end designer, associated with my studio. The digital team in Finland is represented by; Timo H?kkinen alias ‘Hobo’, webmaster and Herkko Huttunen, UX designer, Jutta Listamo Javanainen, digital project manager, Juho H?malainen, journalist and content, and the overall project managing editor Terhi Nevalainen and print designer Seija Finne-Saarento, all at Mediatalo Keskisuomalainen.
