The Plencner Labs Post wireframes

The Plencner Labs Post. All the news that fits Phil.

Design wireframes for a personal newspaper that comes out twice a day: headlines and blurbs from favorite sites and Substacks, scores for seven teams, a puzzle page and record-shop classifieds. Blue-pencil notes explain the decisions; use “Hide notes” to see the clean page.

The Morning Edition

6 A.M.

The whole paper, front to back: masthead art and dateline scoreline, lead story, World in Brief, every section, the scoreboard, the Puzzle Page and the Classifieds.

The Evening Edition

5 P.M.

What changes at 5 P.M.: salmon paper, the Late City stamp, NEW marks on stories since morning, tonight's games, Sudoku, and the morning's answers.

On a Phone

390px

Both editions side by side in phone frames, scrollable.

Type & Paper

Tokens

The two paper stocks, the inks, the type scale, and the logos, and the small parts: NEW marks, ads and section heads.

The written plan lives in the repo's docs/ folder: sources, configuration, architecture, design and the plan of attack.
