Chilean miners trapped in San Jose mine – more amazing interactives

Great work at the BBC

Click here to see the wonderful animated infographics that show everything you need to know

Really well rendered, they remind me of the great work that came out of el Pais and el Mundo of Spain in late nineties and the turn of the millennium

I would love to see what Rafa Hohr is up to with the Sunday Times, but a subscription wall stands between my curiosity and no doubt bloody good work...

Chilean miners trapped in San Jose mine

Chilean miners trapped in San Jose mine: latest infographics from Sunday newspapers

The Independent on Sunday eschewed the trend for "rock textures" to give a stylised guide to the rescue. Informative, and designed to work with the page, the "yellow brick road" approach offers quite a lot of bite-sized information in a small space. Also important to note the reappearance of Glenn Swan's byline in the press.

Good luck Glenn

Second, Fleet Street's behemoth the Sunday Times takes perspective of the "journey to the surface". Its great. Rigorous and nicely rendered with very 'agreeable' illustrative details

Last, the Sunday Telegraph went 'balls-out' with information and attention to the details. It very much feels like a graphic you want to spent some time with. Even better with a pint on a lazy Sunday afternoon. This example also marks the return of Richard Burgess to the Telegraph group

It would be great to see examples from Spain, Latin America etc...

Behind the paywall

Behind the paywall: interactives from the Sunday Times

And here we go

Remember the fantastic online interactives from El Pais in the late nineties and early noughties?

The genius behind those incredible Spanish clickable guides is now at the Sunday Times

Rafa Hohr, with John Smith's talented bunch have created this entertaining infographic which shows how engineers have been battling to stem the flow of oil which has been polluting the Gulf since the Deepwater Horizon explosion in April

Its simple yet informative and visually pleasing: the oil leak moves through the water, and bubbles rise from robot subs

Its great, and with the online background of Hohr, the Sunday Times will be producing interactive infographics previously seen on websites for El Pais and El Mundo in Madrid and Paddy Allen at the Guardian

Here is another example from Rafa

[Fernando Rubio] Diario 16 infographics

Fernando Rubio Diario 16 infographics

Juantxo Cruz, the Head of Graphics at El Mundo, Madrid, has pointed me in the direction of some super infographic examples from Diario 16 which he has posted on his blog

Rubio's brutally direct examples covered the Falklands War from April to May 1982

Yes 1982, almost 28 years ago

Please take a look at the examples on Juantxo's blog

The work is very graphic, and remind me of the great infographics that were produced by the Sunday Times in the 1980's and 1990's under the direction of Peter Sullivan and Gary Cook

Thanks to J+

Swine flu: UK press [4]

Hoovering up of explaining more?

The Sunday press hoovered up from what was left to explain from the last seven days of swine flu

The Sunday Times (a) followed the trend of showing how many cases, by country, using the circular chart method, as noticed in the Daily Telegraph, The Times, the Independent and the Guardian, while not really developing the story further.

In the Sunday Telegraph (b), Stefan Bayley and Ciaran Hughes updated the UK and global figures as shown during the week, but their is a nugget of information in the bottom right corner, as shown above, which looks at the 1918 pandemic, and how the 'case rate' peaked and troughed during the following seasons

The Independent on Sunday (c, d + e) produced a fabulous guide and infographic explainer along the base of the compact spread, of the swine flu crisis. Based upon a timeline, Cath Levett and Richard Burgess explained the past week's news in an incredibly clean and clear fashion. The infographic culminates by date, and by pandemic rating, of the death toll, and confirmed cases, by volume

Is there any more to explain?

Has any print or online platform missed anything?

Surely all has been covered, please tell me if I am wrong

Winning entries from the UK

And here they are

Although I don't have the other from the Guardian, who won two

Congrats to all at the Guardian and the Sunday Times

Although the ST had many days to perfect this, we should not forget it is breaking news

The story changed many times, indeed up until the Saturday morning

And fantastic visuals

Great infographics

Malofiej 17: 'big red thingy'

OK - I am back from Pamplona, and huge apologies for the lack of visual

Basically, crap photo's from the Blackberry, and I had not organised web access at the hotel, for obvious reasons

But there will be a steady stream of stuff to come

First and foremost, I must congratulate all winners at this years awards

My sincere wishes go to the Guardian and the Sunday Times who won three medals collectively

Great news

I have just come across this great video footage by Brian Rea, former Op-Ed art director of the NYT

Classic!
