'You Are Here' - article in new Eye magazine

The new eye magazine is out and I've got a couple of articles in it.

This one is about the current state of information design in industry.

And there is another one that features in a look back at important information design from history.

If you don't know Eye magazine, it is the best graphic design magazine in the world. It is generally a challenge to get designers to say anything insightful, but Eye manages to find those that can. 

It is also a marvelous piece of design in itself. Many design magazines abdicate a mission of beauty, worried that their customers will gripe - but Simon Esterson and team are more than up to it.

Buy Eye.

Titanic video for BBC History

My company After the Flood has made another video for BBC Knowledge and Learning.

This time we did a film for the upcoming 100 year anniversary of the sinking of Titanic.

It will sit in their Titanic section of the History website

There is more write-up here on the main site.

Hey look, the Goodyear Blimp!

 I've just seen a tweet from a US sportscaster on the Man Utd result

"With the win, Manchester United is 90.4% favorite to win PL title, per SPI. Odds were 77.1 pct before weekend."

Fair enough - but that isnt the way most of everyone else talks about football. The things people want evidence on are not the things that supply obvious data. This is why football is a different game than most US sport(s).

We want depth - but not of that stuff. A big project at the moment (separate from the MC work) addresses this.

And so does an upcoming article.

More soon.
