So glad to see a fellow Tally/Shay shipper in the tag. Their relationship is just so good. Its such a gigantic mess. I felt so seen with my messy, queer, neurodivergent teenage female friendships, even if I needed until a reread two years ago until I acknowledged this this feels extremely queer and that is okay because I am queer too. Until then, all the female friendships I read were always just harmonic and nice and only ever threatened by boys, not these codependent, jealous messes.

The idea to center a YA dystopia around two girls who are deep friends with each other and maybe in love but are pitted against each other by the dystopian system (read: patriarchy, read: beauty culture) again and again is just absolutely amazing. I mean, there is a more traditional love triangle too, and its even well written enough to not drag down the series, unlike in most YA dystopias, but its not the center. At least not for me. For me, Tally and Shay are.

I could go on about them because I have thoughts (see: all the fanart and fics I have either already published or wait to publish until the trailer for the movie comes out), but the ask is already pretty long

first of all - i'm so sorry, i saw this message and fully intended to reply later that day i was like "oh i'll get to this after dinner!"

anyway! i was really struck by HOW different the love triangle in uglies is compared to other YA (especially YA dystopia). like the fact that tally doesn't definitively end up with either of them, and that neither boy turns evil (or at least antagonistic), and that both guys were good for her in their own way. but i especially loved that they both took a backseat to her friendship with shay, since that was by far the most interesting relationship in the whole thing

i'm cautiously optimistic about the movie (assuming it even happens). i personally think it'd work better as a series, but, well, after the shadow and bone debacle, i'm weary to trust any streaming service to actually follow through. i'm a bit worried about how mainstream actors who are all gorgeous anyway will be able to play the characters, and how they'll handle stuff like the specials' body modifications without looking silly (obviously there has to be an element of uncanny valley there, but i do worry it could look corny if they don't have a very good makeup artist).

i'm also VERY worried they'll make both tally and shay white. my personal hc is that tally is white and shay is asian, but tally could be any ethnicity, and shay was imo pretty clearly a woman of color. though i wouldn't be surprised if the movie cuts the parts that indicate that the pretty committee's standards are super racist- i wouldn't be surprised if they cut the themes of self-harm, too. (though tbh i'm of two minds about how that was portrayed in the books; i see what they were going for, but i do agree with some criticism i've seen that it could've been handled better.) any YA adaptation is bound to have some of its edge taken out. like the hunger games movies were pretty damn edgy in some aspects, but they're downright sanitized compared to the books.

one thing's for sure. if a movie happens and if they portray the tally/shay relationship at all competently, there will be an influx of shippers. i can see the angsty lyrics edits now.

Dr. Phil McGraw condemned America’s universities for fostering the intense antisemitism the country has seen in the months following the horrific October 7 terrorist attack on Israel.

In a video that went viral over the weekend in the wake of UPenn President Liz Magill resigning for her position after her disastrous Congressional testimony, Dr. Phil said that university leaders exhibited a “sickening smugness” on Capitol Hill.

Most noteworthy, during the testimony, the leaders of Harvard University, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania refused to say that calling for the genocide of Jews was tantamount to bullying and harassment, consistently referring to what they called a “proper context.”

“To be 100% clear, using the dictionary definition of genocide, the question becomes, does calling for the deliberate killing of a large number of Jews with the aim of destroying the Jewish ethnic group and the nation of Israel violate your policy against bullying and harassment?” McGraw explained.

Dr. Phil filmed his video at the Trinity Broadcasting Network studio in Dallas.

“How much context would be required if the student organizations were demonstrating in support of genocide of all Asians, Catholics, blacks or gays?” McGraw asks after reviewing clips from the leaders’ testimonies.

“‘I’ll tell you how much: none,” he asserted. “And you know what? There should be none. All of these groups deserve protection and the right to attend school without fear, and so do the Jewish students.”

Dr. Phil talked about witnessing the horrific IDF video showing the types of atrocities that Hamas committed against Jews on October 7, many of whom were women and children.

“The sexual assaults perpetrated on the women and girls were so sick and twisted as to defy explanation,” he said.. “These were not acts of war; they were mass murdering cowards, high on the drug Captagon, while they celebrated and tallied up their kills like they were in a drunken bar game on a Saturday night.”

“I was so sickened by video images I can never unsee what was done to babies in cribs and young girls begging for their lives. I am changed forevermore,” he added.

He attended the medal ceremony of national team player Zaid Mustafa, who won the silver medal in the under-86 kilogramme competition at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The prince congratulated the national team players on their victories, praising the advancement of Jordanian taekwondo and the increase in the Jordan’s medal tally in the games to three after the national taekwondo team player Zaid Halawani on Tuesday received the bronze medal in the under-63 kilogramme competition.

India Ends Paris Paralympics 2024 With 29 Medals. Pakistan, China Got…

The Paris Paralympic Games 2024 concluded for India on Sunday, with Pooja Ojha the final athlete in action. Ojha failed to qualify for the women's kayak 200m final and bowed out of the competition. As a result, India's medals tally at the Paris Paralympics ended at 29 -- seven golds, nine silvers and 13 bronze, making it the most rewarded campaign for the country. Courtesy of the 29 medals, India stood at the 18th position in the points table. Pakistan, who were also competing win the event, ended the campaign joint-bottom at the 79th position, with just a solitary bronze to its name.

India did very well in the 2024 campaign, beating top nations like Switzerland, Belgium, South Korea, Turkey, Argentina, etc. to finish the Paris Para Games among the top 20 countries in the world

In comparison to India, the traditional heavyweights at the Paralympic Games -- China, Great Britain, USA, Italy, etc. did very well gain, finishing among the top 10 nations. India, having shown significant progression in Paris, would be keen to produce an even better show in the 2028 LA Para Games.

On Saturday, India earned its 29th and final medal of the Paris Paralympic Games through Navdeep Singh who clinched gold medal in men's javelin throw F41 classification.

Navdeep, who competes in the classification meant for athletes of short stature, originally ended with a silver after he upstaged world record holder Sun Pengxiang of China with a 47.32m throw.

However, that was upgraded to an unprecedented gold after Iran's Sadegh Beit Sayah was disqualified for repeatedly displaying an objectionable flag. Pengxiang (44.72m) finished with a silver.

Sayah had managed to nose ahead of the field with a new Paralympic record of 47.64m in his penultimate throw but lost the medal owing to his antics.

The International Paralympic Committee rules bar athletes from making any political gestures at the event and Sayah was thrown out of the final results for unsporting/improper conduct.

At the same venue, Simran, accompanied by her guide Abhay Singh, clocked an impressive personal best of 24.75sec to finish with a bronze in the women's 200m (T12) event.

The 24-year-old from Delhi, who was found to be visually impaired at the time of her premature birth, is the reigning world champion in this event. She had finished fourth in the 100m competition of the ongoing Games and Saturday's medal helped her redeem her campaign.

Track-and-field has contributed 17 medals to this tally, four of them gold. The country is placed 15th in the overall standings, led by China with a whopping 208 medals, including 90 gold.

For Navdeep, the gold makes up for the fourth-place heartbreak he endured in the Tokyo Games.

An inspector in the Income Tax Department, Navdeep has medalled five times at the national level since taking to the sport in 2017. He won a bronze in the para-world championships earlier this year.

Simran, on the other hand, won two silver medals at the Asian Para Games in Hangzhou last year and secured three gold medals in the 100m, 200m, and long jump at the inaugural Khelo India Para Games last December.

Nikhat Zareen (Boxing): The 2022 World Champion in the 52kg category has been in stellar form and could be India's dark horse for a medal.

As the Games draw nearer, all eyes will be on these Indian stars as they aim to etch their names in Olympic history and inspire a new generation of athletes across the country.

India excels at International Newspaper Design Competition Awards

The 6th International Newspaper Design Competition awards were recently announced by Asia's newspaper design website newspaperdesign.in. From India, Hindustan Times, Indian Express, The Hindu, Deccan Herald and Malayala Manorama bagged the top honors in different categories.

Indian Printer & Publisher interacted with Anup Gupta of Hindustan Times, Kannan Sundar from The Hindu and Bivash Barua from The Indian Express to learn more about the competition, elements of a good newspaper design, its relevance in the digital age, challenges in newspaper designing and more. We are publishing this article in two parts. The first part will discuss the award-winning design and the importance of design in a newspaper. Part two will discuss the chart the road ahead for newspaper design, and the challenges in getting younger readers on board.

HT's best of four

Hindustan Times won in four categories – Best of Show spread for Disappearing Acts; Awards of Excellence spread for Kingsmen: the Golden Circle and Sachin@50; and Awards of Excellence in the Infographic category for the Asian Games 2023 spread.

Disappearing Acts was designed by a team comprising Puneet Verma, Monica Gupta, Mohit Suneja, and Anesha George. The jury described the design as “Such a clever way to illustrate an absence (always the most difficult visual) – extinctions of animals discovered after they already are gone.”

Kingsmen, which focuses on Indian chess grandmaster Vishanathan Anand, was designed by a team comprising Puneet Verma, Monica Gupta, Malay Karmakar, and Susan Ninan. “Great balance of illustration and photography combining to tell a complex story about a panel of subjects in an attractive, approachable way,” said the jury about the design. 

“Compelling illustration style with strong art direction across a vast double truck helps the reader through a comprehensive tale told visually, with breakouts, and long-form narrative,” the jury shared about the design for Sachin@50 – a combined effort of Malay Karmakar, Monica Gupta, Puneet Verma, and Ashish Magotra.

According to Anup Gupta, managing editor, Hindustan Times, the Asian Games 2023 infographic “presented India’s medals tally over the years, contrasting it with other Asian countries, especially China.” The design was a combined effort of Prijit Sasidharan, Puneet Verma, Partho Sheel, Mohit Suneja, and Shantanu Srivastava.

The Hindu's sports show

The Hindu won the Best of Show award; Gold in the Best of Sports Page category; and an Award of Excellence in the Best of Double Spread category for its illustration for ‘The science behind Neeraj’s skills.’ The story was written by Jonathan Selvaraj, with science explained by Vasudevan Mukunth, data research by Vignesh Radhakrishnan and illustration and design by Kannan Sundar.

Suresh Nambath, editor, The Hindu, said, “The recognition is a result of the combined effort of our design and editorial teams. We ensured that the designing team took full advantage of the space available in the double spread to produce a captivating visual for the traditional medium.”

The Indian Express – parliament

The Indian Express won the Best of Show in the Infographic category for its infographic titled 'The Parliament of India', which explored both the historic and the new parliament buildings. The design for the infographic was by Bivash Barua with illustrations by Suvajit Dey and text by Chakshu Roy, Damini Nath and Divya A.

“This award is a testament to the successful collaboration between our writing, editing, and design teams. We aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of both structures. To achieve this, we used a bold illustration of the old parliament building as the centerpiece. Its circular shape provided a perfect canvas to organize the infographic's elements around it. Additionally, the layout incorporated the principles of the golden ratio for a visually balanced composition,” said Bivash Barua, national design editor, The Indian Express.

Malayala Manorama and Deccan Herald

Malayala Manorama and Deccan Herald also received recognition in the Best of Double Spread category. One design from Malayala Manorama narrated the journey of Abhilash Tomy, who circumnavigated the earth, and other travelers. The second one titled 'Dance Moves' was about the Naatu Naatu song from the film RRR and other Oscar nominations from India.

Deccan Herald's double spread headlined 'Sports washing negative image', which bagged the Award of Excellence, was described as “a refreshing approach to the significance of the World Cup storylines with a fresh illustration style, with lots of great details and clever touches woven throughout.”

Design and storytelling

So what is the relevance of design in storytelling? How does it help hook a reader to a particular article, piece of information, or simply a complex topic?

Design plays a pivotal role in storytelling. It serves as a vital component, enriching narratives and captivating audiences on various levels, explained Kannan Sundar, national design editor, The Hindu. “Design empowers storytellers to weave compelling tales that resonate deeply with their readers, stirring emotions and leaving a lasting impact. One of the key functions of design is setting a story's tone and atmosphere. Elements such as color palette, typography, and imagery work harmoniously to establish the mood and evoke the desired emotions in the audience,” Kannan Sundar said.

Design is for storytelling what music is for a song, says Anup Gupta. He said just as music enhances a song and infuses life in it, making it memorable, design gives a story a unique identity, which is akin to a fingerprint. Which is why design for storytelling is not just relevant but is a must, he said.

Great design transcends aesthetics, Barua said, adding it acts as a powerful, unspoken language that complements the written or spoken word. By strategically using visuals, color, and layout, design can evoke emotions, deepen reader connection, and guide them through the narrative, he said. Infographics and well-placed images can clarify complex ideas, while strong visuals leave a lasting impression, staying with readers long after they have finished the story.

“This is evident in publications where design plays a crucial role. A visually engaging layout can make reading more pleasurable and memorable. Consider the powerful statement made by The Indian Express' blank editorial during the Emergency, the Wall Street Journal's recent blank front page dedicated to a journalist's imprisonment or the Donald Trump lies page by the New York Times. These stark design choices speak volumes, leaving a lasting impact on viewers,” Barua said.

Emotionally resonant storytelling is another hallmark of effective design, Sundar said, adding that by employing visual elements that resonate with the audience's feelings and experiences, design has the power to evoke profound emotional responses, forging deeper connections between the story and its readers.

“Furthermore, in the realm of branding and marketing storytelling, design serves as a cornerstone in shaping brand identity. Through the consistent use of brand colors, logos, and visual elements, design reinforces a brand's values and messaging, fostering a strong narrative that resonates with readers and enhances brand recognition. In essence, design is not merely a superficial embellishment but an integral component of storytelling, imbuing narratives with depth, emotion, and resonance. As design editors, we are committed to harnessing the power of design to craft immersive and impactful stories that captivate and inspire our readers, Sundar added.

In essence, design is a tool that storytellers can leverage to create a more impactful and immersive experience, Barua echoed. “Just as good design drives successful products, a well-designed story is more engaging. Both rely on the power of visual communication to connect with the audience on a deeper level.”

A captivating newspaper design

Several elements contribute to a captivating newspaper design – layout, typography, color, photographs, and adaptability among other things.

Layout

According to Sundar, layout is paramount for a good newspaper design. A “well-organized layout guides readers seamlessly through the content, with clear section divisions, consistent column widths, and a balanced distribution of text and images ensuring a logical flow.”

A well-designed layout is your GPS, Barua says. Following a style sheet and basic grid structure makes the paper look smart and consistent. Negative space should be embraced for a sense of order.

Typography

Typography is another crucial consideration, Sundar explains. Choosing appropriate fonts for headlines, subheadings, body text, and captions is essential for legibility and maintaining uniformity throughout the publication, he says, adding white space is often overlooked but vital as it prevents visual clutter and allows content to breathe, thereby enhancing readability and facilitating easy navigation.

Establishing a clear hierarchy of information is imperative, Sundar says. Through the effective use of headlines, subheadings, and varying font sizes, readers can quickly identify important stories and navigate through the content with ease.

“Clear, easy-to-read fonts in comfortable sizes with high contrast between text and background are essential,” said Barua, adding that consistent alignment, margins, and spacing make all the difference in a professional and polished look.

Color

Color adds vibrancy and visual interest, but it must be used judiciously to avoid detracting from readability. Thoughtful use of color can also help differentiate sections or highlight key information, Sundar said.

Photographs

Photos and graphics should be used strategically to explain complex stories, according to Barua.

Adaptability

Adaptability is crucial in the digital age, said Sundar, adding that a good newspaper design must consider how the layout will translate to online formats, such as responsive web design for mobile devices or tablets, ensuring a seamless reading experience across various platforms.

In today’s day and age when the same newspaper is available in printed and digital forms, on different platforms, significantly influencing its consumption, identifying ‘elements that contribute to a good newspaper design’ is varied, Gupta says. “If ‘to design’ means finding a creative solution for a problem, then any creative solution that solves a problem, and facilitates the consumption of the content, should be considered a ‘good design’ contribution,” he says.
