Masses of fascinating information regarding our virtual revolution has been organised into clear, easy to use graphics. The era of reams of data and tables are over as we live in a new period where 'infographics' take centre stage.
Digital Revolution & Infographics
Future Technology: SeeSaw
http://www.seesaw.com/
Combining the libraries of iPlayer, 4OD, CatchUp and DemandFive, SeeSaw looks positive to be the next phase in the online revolution. First it was information made freely available, then music, and now programming. Will this see the TV become extinct in time? Bottom line: watch this space.
Our World
An inspirational video about our beautiful planet. The shots and camera movements fit perfectly with the music; a great video that evokes many emotions.
Nicholas Felton: Excellence in Information Design
Felton decides upon a strict colour scheme for his works. The less colours used, the better; in the image to the left, only two colours are needed- yellow and black. This keeps the image simple, but most importantly, the strict colour scheme ties together the information.
He has also paid attention to the typography. A striking headline sans-serif font is used sparingly, but contrasted with a carefully construction serif font.
The image itself is interesting. It is strange how different a place looks when all borders, landmarks and streets are taken away. The image depicts the true shape of New York, and unintentionally illustrates the human impact upon the landscape excellently.
The Gruffalo
A beautifully animated production of The Gruffalo shown on BBC1, Christmas Day 2009. It is a perfect demonstration of how incredible artwork combined with well-constructed language can result in a very succesful outcome.
