Change in design at the WSJ

Wall Street Journal managing editor Robert Thomson sent out the following announcement to the staff on Tuesday:

Over the last few years, the Wall Street Journal has developed into a newspaper recognized internationally for its visual style. As Creative Director since 2008, Tomaso Capuano has spearheaded that transformation, crafting the new magazine, recasting the paper and redrafting our digital sites.
As we continue to pursue increasingly ambitious initiatives, in the U.S. and abroad, Tomaso is shifting his focus to concentrate primarily on the design and development of new products at the Journal and Dow Jones. Thus the esteemed John Nichols will become Chief Art Director, responsible for day-to-day management of our team of art directors.
Tomaso and John, along with photography director Jack van Antwerp and graphics chief Seth Hamblin, will report to Deborah Brewster.
