Design hiccups

Just caught up with Mark Porter, our creative editor who's rather busy these days, to discuss your problems over typesize. Some of you had found the sports page piece on the Ashes - The series Session by session - very difficult to read.

Mark's very open about it; it was a bad colour decision. "We had six and a half point reversed out of a background comprising three different colours which even with state-of-the-art printing was optimistic."

So, we're sorry about that one. On the TV lisitings, Mark agrees the print is quite small, but he hopes it's still OK for readers. "A lot of time, energy and money was spent developing a typeface for use at small sizes. We've made a great effort to make it as legible as possible."

Video: Mark Porter walks you through the new design in our multimedia special report.
