Infographic_ Google :: trying not to be evil


Elmo Keep wrote this fantastic exploration of Google's many facets. I designed the visuals to play with their distinctive brand colours (with a bit of Star Wars iconography thrown in for good measure).

It's been getting a few hits online - now well over a million and still counting...



Infographic_Willingness to Fight Wars


I produced this infographic segment for ABC program HungryBeast.


Infographic Quotes_Stuff Said This Week



Every episode of ABC program HungryBeast featured a segment called "Stuff Said This Week". My graphics team would bring to life 3 quotes from the weeks news cycle as graphic collages.

This a selection of some of my favourite that I worked on during seasons 1 & 2.


Infographic News Blips_The Other News



Every episode of ABC program HungryBeast featured a segment called "The Other News". My graphics team would bring to life 3 bits of obscure news in each episode as bright, technicolor motion graphics bursts.

This a selection of some of my favourite that I worked on during seasons 1 & 2.


Infographic_Child Mortality verse Arms Sales Revenue Worldwide



ABC Australia program HungryBeast asked me to develop a format for a short segment that could turn maps and other infographic charts into animated interstitials.

This was the prototype we made for DataPlus.

It combines maps with datasets for:
-Child Mortality worldwide
-Arms Sales Revenue_Top 20 Nations
-Nuclear Weapons Stockpiles, estimated warheads by nation.


Infographic_DNA Test Results



Kirk Docker produced a story for HungryBeast about the experience of getting a genetic test of his future health problems.

We needed a clear, concise way to display his results within the segment.


AudioVisuals_Music Breakers for ABC Television



One thing I love doing is turning music into visuals. This is a selection of breakers we made for TV series HungryBeast to give the audience a little rest between segments.


Infographic_Wikileaks Profile



In the wake of the CollateralMurder.com scandal, when video emerged of US Apache pilots firing on Reuters journalists in downtown Baghdad, the HungryBeast team rushed to compile a profile on the group responsible. I put together the graphics for them with just a few hours to spare before broadcast.
