One week of The Guardian: Interactive visuals

Since I put together the One Week of The Guardian statistics, I’ve been playing alot with sketching up alot of static visuals. I’ve also been playing around with some interactive visuals using the ManyEyes visualisation software. I ended up with some really cool results.

One week of The Guardian: Monday

UPDATE: This post has been updated on 05 April 2008. The original contents of this post can be found in this text file.
Well here’s version 2 of Monday’s edition. I like to think of this as 1.0, and the previous was just the beta. Software gets beta’d all the time, why can’t posters?

Illustrated headlines, part three

Yet another headline from The Guardian newspaper. Incase you’re not picking up on this, there’s a pattern forming here. I read The Guardian.

Illustrated headlines, part one

One day of The Guardian

Recently I’ve been working on some static visualisations of news, and decided to create a poster with all of the news printed in the Guardian newspaper for one day. I played about with a couple of versions, trying to create relationships between the stories and the authors.
The visual is based on serial relationships between elements, but […]
