Visual Storytelling: Inspiring a New Visual Language - visual journalism infographics

Francesco Franchi is the art director for IL-Intelligence in Lifestyle, the monthly magazine of Il Sole 24 ORE, Italy’s leading financial daily. "Embracing new languages in journalism," Franchi is a true master of combining representation and interpretation, creating a visual form that is as graphic as it is narrative, as entertaining as it is informative. His work has been awarded on numerous occasions, including the European Design Awards and at the renowned Malofiej conference. Gestalten.tv met with him last summer in Berlin to talk about his influences, innovative storytelling and non-linear reading in today's editorial design. Furthermore you will find an extensive printed interview with the Italian designer in "Visual Storytelling: Inspiring a New Visual Language".

Some office silliness with "The Best Cry Ever" in surround sound

We became quite obsessed with the original Best Cry Ever video that has already racked up over 30 million hits. We thought how strange it would sound if we played it on multiple computers so we tried it out and we were right.

Then last Friday, Hiten decided we should video our entire department playing it simultaneously and we should add it to YouTube as a video response.

A video explaining how PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet

Although I don't live in the USA, I know these laws could have a profound effect on the internet around the world:

PROTECT-IP is a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and is moving quickly through Congress. It gives the government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting "creativity". The law would let the government or corporations censor entire sites-- they just have to convince a judge that the site is "dedicated to copyright infringement."

The government has already wrongly shut down sites without any recourse to the site owner. Under this bill, sharing a video with anything copyrighted in it, or what sites like Youtube and Twitter do, would be considered illegal behaviour according to this bill.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, this bill would cost us $47 million tax dollars a year — that's for a fix that won't work, disrupts the internet, stifles innovation, shuts out diverse voices, and censors the internet. This bill is bad for creativity and does not protect your rights.
