Two newspapers were named Monday as the 'World's Best Designed' by the Society of News Design.
» The Guardian - London, U.K. --- Daily circulation: 395,000
» Rzeczpospolita - Warsaw, Poland --- Daily circulation: 180,000
Meeting at Syracuse University in New York, a panel of five judges reviewed 389 newspapers from 44 countries to decide the 2005 winners.

• Nanette Bisher, creative director of the San Francisco Chronicle in California
• Joe Dizney, design director of The Wall Street Journal in New York, N.Y.
• Lucie Lacava, design consultant with Lacava Design Inc. in Montreal, Canada
• Ingrid Lohne, assistant editor of DagensMedier in Oslo, Norway
• Chris Watson, executive editor of the National Post in Toronto, Canada

“Many newspapers achieved a high standard of overall design, photography and illustration. Editorial voice, use of resources and visual storytelling were other qualities that are looked for in an outstanding publication,” judges said. The winners were as close to “perfect” as they could individually and collectively be. “The two papers received our unanimous vote for maintaining quality and freshness on every page.”

The Guardian redesign is on permanent display in the Redesign wing of Visual Editors.
