Newspapers, books, and rather large word counts

After col­lect­ing all the data for One Week Of The Guardian, I’ve been look­ing through the sta­tis­tics. One thing that struck me was the amount of words in the news for all 6 days, Mon­day to Sat­ur­day. In one week, … Con­tinue read­ing

One week of The Guardian: Statistics Collection

For an upcom­ing visual series on design­ing the news con­tained in the Guardian news­pa­per, I’ve been data min­ing through a weeks worth of the papers, Mon­day to Sat­ur­day (Sun­days’ issue is the Observer so no Guardian then), and dis­ect­ing all … Con­tinue read­ing

Illustrated headlines, part one

From read­ing the paper the other day, I sketched out a few draw­ings of head­lines to work with. I haven’t really been very good with sketch­ing any­thing accu­rately, but I fig­ured I’ll give it a go and clean it up … Con­tinue read­ing

Serial and Parallel relations

After just com­plet­ing a sta­tic news visu­al­i­sa­tion, I realised the way I linked the sto­ries and authors together was in a ser­ial fash­ion. That is to say, I linked the sto­ries along a path that pro­gressed from one story to … Con­tinue read­ing

One day of The Guardian

Recently I’ve been work­ing on some sta­tic visu­al­i­sa­tions of news, and decided to cre­ate a poster with all of the news printed in the Guardian news­pa­per for one day. I played about with a cou­ple of ver­sions, try­ing to cre­ate … Con­tinue read­ing
