Canadian Business launches new look mag and website

This week, Canadian Business magazine publishes its special "Canada in 2020" issue with a visual makeover for both the magazine and canadianbusiness.com.

The website design remains incredibly busy and cluttered, which has almost been a hallmark for CB; there is a new panel added with tabs for analysis, blogs, video and so on and navigation may prove a little easier.

This is apparently the first phase of the magazine's redesign, which is solid and pleasing (though, puh-leeze, what's with the clipped corner on the pictures?) There's a re-tooled logo, a macho-looking slab serif for display type and clearly more spending on photography, at least for this special issue. Absent is illustration, however, which is disappointing.
