What are you sending to Malofiej? (XXVII) Mundo Estranho (Brazil)

The Infographic World Summit is beginning at Pamplona. The jury has already decided the winners of the Malofiej Awards. I'm sure some of these examples got awards. They are sent by Tiago Jokura as part of the fantastic job of the people of the brazilian magazine Mundo Estranho.

Mundo Estranho is one of the magazines that makes more and better infographics. It is a divulgation magazine for youth, and their infographics really explain things.

These are the names of the journalists that have made these works: the chief (Redatora-Chefe) is Patricia Hargreaves, the text editors Lauro Henriques Jr., Marina Motomura and Tiago Jokura. The Art Editor, Fabricio Miranda and the designers Bernardo Borges and Diego Sanches.

Also, you can follow the magazine on Twitter, at @mundoestranho.

Congratulations to the authors for these great graphics. I'm sure we'll see some of them on the next Malofiej book.

And the next one, Milfri Pérez for Editorial Santillana.

What are you sending to Malofiej? (XXVI) XPRESS (DUbai)

Another one from Dubai: Danesh Mohuiddin, sends some of the works he have published for XPRESS, an english weekly publication of the Emirate.

You can watch more examples, with some illustrations, at his own blog.

The style reminds me Mundo Estranho, the brazilian magazine, which will be next in this section.

The jury of this edition of Malofiej are already arriving to Pamplona. This friday, the winners will be announced. So good luck to everybody.

And the next one, as I told you before, Mundo Estranho (Brazil)

What are you sending to Malofiej? (XXV) Gulf News (Dubai)

Miguel Ángel Gómez works at Gulf News, in Dubai (UAE). An arabie city full of layin infographic journalists. He's the one who sends these works, some of them previously published in Infographics News.

It looks like Ducai is the new Mecca (sorry for the easy joke) of infographics. We had more examples form Dubai in this section about Malofiej. And UAE is a very rich country, but very small too.

We also know very good examples from Luis Chumpitaz's team at Arab Media Group.

But let's focus again in Gulf News.

Miguel Ángel Gómez says that when he sends infographics to SND Awards, they're usually awarded. But not the graphic. The page gets the medal.

I think it got something to do with good integration.

Many infographics fill the spread, or are so important and bifg that the page design is made by the infographic. The jury must like the graphics, or they wouldn't award a page when 3/4 of the surface is something they dislike.

And the next one, Dubai again, with XPress.

What would you send to Malofiej (XXIV): Panamá América (Panama)

Nélson Fernández is an infographic journalist from Venezuela, but he works at the moment at the Panamá América, a newspaper from Panamá (as you could guess).
You coould have seen many things from him at this blog.

You could know him for that, his works, and the Encuentro de Infografía (Infographics Meeting) he organizes in Panamá. You can access his offical blog.

You can recognize that vertical style he use. He's colorful, as usual in Latin America, but not as much as others.

Most of them are graphics that go to the ponit. The classical style: big image and details around it, but not so many details: just 3-4 things, very direct. Just the keys.

And the next, Gulf News (Dubai)

What would you send to Malofiej (XXIII): Zee Kulsariyeva (Czech Republic)

Zee Kulsariyeva is a czech designer focused on information design. He or she (sorry, I don't know what Zee stands for) sends these graphics as personal works.

They have not been not published on professional media, althought they had been published in importants webs as Cool Infographics, Flowing Data or Six Revisions.

You have here all kind of subjects: LHC,Pink Floyd or USA inmigration laws.

We won't see them in Malofiej, but you can watch more from Zee in the 802.11 Flickr.

And the next one in this section will be Diario Panamá América (Panamá)

What are you sending to Malofiej? (XXI) Marca (Spain)

Germán Pizarro, infographics director at Marca, sends some of the infographics they are sending to this Malofiej.

Marca is the top selling newspaper in Spain. Marca.com is the most visited information website. And both talk just about sports. Mainly about football (soccer). And, I would say, mainly about Real Madrid.

Yes, football takes most of its pages, more than a 95% of its frontpages. But their graphics don't keep the same proportion: basketball, tennis or F1 are usual subjects.

Also, the infographics team of Marca has just released a blog, MarcaInfografia. It worths to take a look how they work.

Marca is an usual winner at Malofiej. Since its firsts editions. And many famous visitors of Pamplona have worked or works there: Pablo M. Ramírez, José Juan and Carlos Gámez, Julián de Velasco, Carlos Caneiro, Manolo Romero, Germán Pizarro... and all those I forget, because I just forget them or because I think they worked for Recoletos (the company that formerly owned Marca) and I'm wrong.

These were the print entries, but Marca.com also participates. And they are used to take some golds home the lasts years, so here you are some serious candidates for them:
