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: 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...

Please forward on

Globe and Mail goes green





Globe and Mail goes green

The Globe And Mail finally unveiled it's new redesign on Friday

Moving away from broadsheet (pic1) to a slightly larger than Berliner format (pic2), The Globe And Mail is now full-colour throughout and uses glossy paper for certain areas of the paper

The new KBA Commander CT presses provide unparalleled colour and registration quality coupled with an extremely fast output. The Globe And Mail prints from six printing plants spread across Canada

Saturday's issue included a fantastic double truck graphic (pic3) by Ninian Carter who is returning to the UK, and Tonia Cowan, which explains the new printing processes and green initiatives the Globe is striving to implement

It is understood that Carter will continue to work for the Globe and Mail
