I have been working on this for over a month, details on that below. Now, I don't want to wait any longer for this to get out there. I want this to be an iterative process and I am anxious to get feedback, and help with condensing data, and filling in blanks.
I have been listening to George Webb intermittently for the last year, and have followed Luke Rosiak's coverage of the Awans closely.
As a designer, I can't help but visualize most information, and I have a vision to process news through an infographic format. I want to strip news reports down to the facts, strip away, merge the half truths of biased publications, or partisan writing styles, to collage together the entire story, in context. I want the visual to be so striking in showing connections between data points that would be dismissed as circumstantial or irrelevant when standing on their own.
I felt I had to plug away at this first subject myself to demostrate the kind of content I am talking about, but I hope to make this a very collaborative process. I've been exposed to a lot of great training at my day job that has my interest peaked in crowdsourced prototyping to create impactful, professional looking visuals that can be shared on multiple social media platforms in an effort to educate and wake others to the things going on in under the radar like this story.
I'd really, really love to tackle a "Russia Conspiracy" infographic/relationship map, once I get this one finished.
Please share feedback on if the information was easy to follow, suggestions on condensing info - recategorizing. Still need to boost the design factor - that's what I am good at but so far I've been too focused on assembling the content.
I want to shout out to some you that people that I follow, people that I appreciate for curating independent news and that I hope will take the time to check this out and share if they like it!
