The new design is our answer to a WHY
The Branding & Digital Marketing team of DealStreetAsia helped us answer all our concerns and questions. The team had great clarity on what DSA is looking for from the redesigned portal. We decided to have a clear differentiation for the top stories and other stories according to their importance and context. We tried different combinations of fonts and finally selected Montserrat as main font and Mate as a secondary font based on our readability testing. We followed the brand colour Blue.
