infographic animations

 

Conveying information in an interesting manner is the hallmark of successful infographic design and animation. As the creative director and graphics producer, it was my responsiblity to research and art direct the projects, which allowed for greater creative expression while ensuring the specific information was conveyed accurately and definitively. 

These projects were produced to be incorporated into broadcast segments or on our digital properties.

The design challenge for Al Jazeera Media Network’s 2016 election coverage was profound, in that the graphics needed to work across all international

broadcast/cable channels and seamlessly integrate to digital and mobile platforms. We strongly felt that the graphic design needed to distinguish itself from the typical and avoid the usual clichés found in so many election graphics. The team set out to follow one basic fundamental design tenet, it needed to be “simple,” with clear design rules that would convey the information quickly to the viewer. This was a very important consideration when election results are displayed quite fervently throughout the on-air coverage.

 

All of the graphics and animations were produced in-house, by a team of four, and provided to the other channels: Al Jazeera English, Al Jazeera Balkans and Al Jazeera Arabic. For the set design we used the main studio wall as a backdrop with cycling graphic elements, creating an interesting backdrop to reflect the ongoing election process.
