Going back to the drawing board?

“Well, back to the drawing board.”

The man in the suit is noted for carrying what appears to be some kind of blueprints that are rolled up under his arm, suggesting that he perhaps worked on the plane.

Two points in sum-up. One, if you’re going back to the drawing board, it implies failure or at least some degree of imperfection. Two, by going back to the drawing board, you don’t mind going back to square one, i.e. the very beginning and perhaps making a clean break with the past and trying something completely new.

Here are recent media examples of people going back to the drawing board in order to improve their work:

1. Sky News has unveiled a new-look website following a redesign of skynews.com.

The website’s new homepage is more user friendly and allows users detailed access to stories by exploring galleries, graphs, timelines and images. Navigation has been simplified and analysis and specialist comment has been made more prominent.

A weather section has also been launched, giving users a detailed three-hourly local forecast for their postcode, as well as a broader look at the national and international picture.

Andrew Hawken, Head of Editorial, Sky News Digital, said: “The new site is real progress for us, and completes our world-class multi-platform offering. Viewers will find the site easier to navigate, with all the top stories in one place and with much more detail, as well as additional benefits like a broader range of comment and analysis pieces and more detailed weather service.”
