EU interactive
Eurostats are go
Following the Telegraph EU series I mentioned earlier David Kinross has developed our online data monster
All countries are clickable and offer comparisons with various valuable data
A visual database or sorts
Check it out and fill your boots
Roman centrepiece
Bloody hell
More infographia by the inglés conquistadors
This jolly centrepiece from Richard Burgess at the Independent on Sunday
Printed on the 13 September, its got the lot
Illustration, diagrams, maps, photo, cut-outs, film grabs and a timeline
Again, why read the report when you can enjoy the infographic
Beautiful tones, sympathetic to one another
My only note is that typographically, it is flat
No size or weight dynamic
But still its a joy to hold and read
And fantastic piece of work
Infographic caviar!
Speaking my language
Who speaks what across the EU
In the second day of the Telegraph's 'State of Europe' series, we've addressed this issue;
Apparently french is the numero uno language for the EU-27
Well that is just a load of tosh
Clearly, on 51%, the spreche of Rooney, Thatcher and Grimwade is first
And amazingly the EU Commission spent 100m euros interpreting 23 official patois in 2005
The things you now know!
Sexism in the city
Cracking graphic by the Guardian today
Pay equality among executives, male and female
Which shows that only five top women executives earn more than the average of all male executives in the FTSE100
The Guardian have ironed out the problem of 'width disparity' of the spiral increments, which received a few words of caution in the industry
But I think this is very clear, and the colour fab
Why read the piece when you can understand the reporting in the infographic
My only concern is that part of the scale in white was printed in the gutter
Bummer!

A new Review
A new family member for the Daily Telegraph designed by Himesh Patel
Launched on Saturday, a well designed supplement
Biased, yes, of course, but a thing of great beauty all the same
Bringing together arts, film, books, stage, music and tv listings, it is a super section
Clean and crisp typography, the font 'Newface'

The last Aztec
A great pullout section in today's Sunday Telegraph
And a great infographic detailing the fall of the Aztecs
Stefan Bayley and Ciaran Hughes have produced an interesting account of the Aztec empire, and the what and the how's
As we say, god is in the detail
And this work has mucho
I like this graphic as it tells and shows a profound account of Moctezuma II, and the life and times of rule for the Aztecs under him
There is so much to learn in this graphic
Like National Geographic, and the works from El Correo, we feel a 'visual overview' narrative
Something not really seen enough in the UK press
as a friend and colleague of INNOVATION would and will say... "infographic caviar"

9|11: eight years on...
Superb interactive journalism
Many angles, many takes of footage from the day we won't forget
History.com have produced this wonderful example of a complete editorial package online
Via a 3d rendering of lower Manhattan at 8:45 am (est), we can chose from which angle to watch video footage, taken by the public
We can also read their story and watch the 'film makers' interview - the eye witness
Although the main event marked a notch on the trunk of history, these lives that changed are the real story
