Five inspiring pieces awarded at the SND Digital 2012

Share

Maybe these were not the best pieces of the contest (I won't say 'graphics' because the limits of what is a graphic nowadays are blurry), not even the five I liked the most, but five examples I'll remember when thinking on how to tell stories in the future (and the present)

1. Use of audio
Trial excerpt: Getting to not Guilty | The Boston Globe




The idea is simple, actually: they wanted to explain how things happen on the Court, so what they give is the complete audio of a session, the transcript and a colored bar marks what's playing the audio. This particular case explains the story of the judgement of a person who confessed being guilty of driving drunk and cause an accident in the moment it happened but was declared not guilty after all.

Why I like it?
It really explains the information in the best possible way. No fireworks. I can't figure myself reading a long article about this topic, and I guess won't be enough just hearing the audio. But they way The Boston Globe mixed both created a very effective piece: the voices, the doubts, how they talked, wth the transcript to follow the action on an easier way... Smart, effective, objective journalism.


2. Multimedia Integration
At the Metropolitan Museum, a new wing, a new vista | The New York Times




The Metropolitan Museum was opening a new islamic wing and The New York Times created this virtual visit to all lounges, with navigable panoramas, image details, audio explanations and other details.

Why I like it?

None of the separated elements is very original. I've seen better navigable panoramas, better image details, better audio explanations, better wing maps... but all the stuff is brought together on a really great way. Multimedia pieces are not just juxtaposed, but integrated. So here 1+1+1+1 is more than 4. And with really good details, like the tiny map on the left, advancing with the scroll and changing depending on the lounge you're watching each moment.

3. Use of social networks
Cast Your Vote, 2011 Oscar | The New York Times




The Oscar 2011 special by The New York Times invites you, as many others, to fill your own ballot. But there's an extra point: the possibility to share it on Facebook with your friends and play against them.

Why I like it?

All media know they have to do things with  social networks, but no one knows exactly what to do. This is what to do. This special piece by the Grey Lady is a perfect demonstration of how social pieces can be without complex developments. A really social product.

4. Different use of video
Pop up politics | National Public Radio




Do you remember VH1 Pop Up Videos? NPR has adapted that idea to politics: videos showing funny things about what's happening on them, but here NPR is using speeches of the republican candidates instead of music videos.


Why I like it?

Ok, the idea is not original, but changing the context to politics add a very interesting layer (and changes the sometimes hieratic face of elections info). Maybe this particular example by NPR has too many 'funny' things rather then 'important', but is a very good way to analyze speeches, and on videos, so important for advertising revenues nowadays.

5. Vertical narratives
How Osama Bin Laden was located and killed | The New York Times





A colection of graphics and multimedia pieces about the capture of Osama Bin Laden by, yes, again, The New York Times. This vertical system completing the information step by step is not exclusive of the Times, but a format each time more popular in the United States media.

Why I like it?

If the example of the Metropolitan was great because of the integration over the juxtaposition, here is the opposite: the juxtaposition works over the integration. The format creates a linear narrative, with differentiated pieces, indexed with the tiny fixed menu at the left. The story is told by steps, like the successful Mariano Rivera video infographic.

Last days to participate in SND Digital and Malofiej

Share

This is the key week to end sticking portfolios together, gathering URLs and decide the best graphics of this year on each department. This week we meet the deadline to send graphics for two of thebig events of the year: the SND Digital and the Malofiej Awards.



SND Digital
Deadline: January 15th
The online edition of the SND awards, focused on design but with infographic categories. Not as veteran as the print SND or Malofiej, but with the intention (if not a reality already) of becoming the most important online media design awards. Special attention to apps for mobile and tablets,



Premios Malofiej
Deadline: January 17th
The classic among the classics  of the infographics awards celebrates its 20th anniversary in a big way.
Print, online and mobile graphics can participate in this specialized and prestigious competition.

It's late, so 'don't rest on your laurels' as says the motto of the Malofiej Awards.
And good luck!

The Malofiej Awards, the most important awards-summit-workshops-party of infographics in this world, is becoming 20 in 2012. As John Grimwade says and malofiej20.com remebers "You must attend Malofiej at least once in your life". And this is the right time, as the infographics Mecca is preparing a great program of high-class events to commemorate its anniversary.

Malofiej 19 (from my own point of view)

Share

This year, I've been part of the jury of Malofiej 19, but I'm talking about the awards and summit not as part of the jury, but as any other infographic journalist.

Just a few things as jury: Very special thanks to  Javier Errea (and Álvaro Gil) for calling me to be judging this year. Something that has been very special for me, being part of the students that help in the organization now 10 years ago. Thanks also to the students group for their job. And the rest of the members of the jury: I really enjoyed being and learning with them.

And now, my two cents:



Visualization vs. Ilustration
This is not the first year that I find many people evaluating the awards as a fight of datavis vs. 'classic' infographics. I can't see a fight.  And, specially, this year. There are better and worse infographics. Of any kind. I look at the awarded this edition and I find more 'classic' graphics than visualizations, although these last ones catch the eye very fast.
I don't care how the graphic is done if it is telling a story, gives proper information to the reader and explain what they want to explain in an effective way.
Maybe we have to create a friendly soccer game 'Friends of Amanda Cox vs. Friends of Fernando Baptista'




The New York Times and National Geographic
The big winners of this edition (one more time). Both are the big stars of each of the styles we were talking about. But this success is not a surprise.
Althought I can uderstand Alberto Cairo's question: "And the rest of us, what can we do?", we can expect that the two big media that has devoted such huge resources to create the bests infographics departments of the world will win so many awards.
But some other media, not so big, as Público (Spain) that keeps winning lots of awards with a department of just five. Very talented, but just five. Or IL, the italian magazine. It takes its time, but it's easier to succeed if the media (or at leat the art department) really cares about making good (and not just many) infographics.



My favourite of the year: When we tell storiesd with infographics


In my opinion, infographics in journalistic media should be, above all, journalism. And that's what this infographic published on the Washington Post does. It was awarded with a gold medal.



It's easy to understand: localizes a gun store and places crimes  with guns purchased in that particular store in several miles around it.

Very high journalist value: it tells a story, warns about a problem and show the data to prove it.

It's visual: I don't need the text of the article to understand the problem, how deep it is and many other things around it.

A modern version of the Dr. John Snow's cholera graphic.


All this, thinking at the same time that NYT graphic about the pitcher  Mariano Rivera really deserved the Peter Sullivan award that it got. That's a kind of graphic that will make us all think twice on how are we showing the data. Once again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are my ideas, but here you are some others:

- Javier Errea, presidentof the Spanish Chpater of the SND (in spanish)
- Gert K. Nielsen, on his blog VisualJournalism, who was covering the awards and Summit.
