One new idea for every day in 2011. We’re talking big, small, local,
international, in action and on the drawing board. Here’s today’s —

Sebastian Bettencourt‘s newspaper of the future may have the look and feel of a traditional physical news publication — it still has sections for local, international, sports, business stories, and more — just don’t expect it to smell like one.

The California-based designer calls his design Beyond the Fold and describes it as a “speculative approach to the electronic newspaper of the future.

The design process employs cultural metaphors, human experience and rituals to create meaningful interactions.”
