Ignite the conversation among
your readers with clearly presented facts.
Today’s news cycle is increasingly faster, busier and noisier. We work with renowned news organizations to enhance the news stories that matter. Our well-researched and accurate infographics can tell any story – across all topics, platforms and channels – to leave readers better informed.
Dr. Infographic
Case study: New York Times Magazine
Symptomatic Plotting
»Diagnosis« is a long-running column in New York Times Magazine written by Dr. Lisa Sanders M.D., which was the inspiration for the medical drama House M.D. For six years, Infographics Group CEO Jan Schwochow illustrated a series of illnesses, highlighting the key symptoms on a simple and effective diagram.
A healthy dose of context
Each illustration highlighted the affected system and showed the story as the doctors understood it. As the major piece of art that ran alongside every column, the diagrams allowed readers to understand which systems and organs were affected by the illnesses that were eventually diagnosed.
Branding included
By simply altering the same illustration for every story, »Diagnosis« was easy to identify and find within the magazine pages by regular readers.
A megaphone for your content
As social media becomes an increasingly important traffic driver, so have the items that perform well on channels like Facebook and Twitter, like infographics. Make sure that readers can identify your content no matter where they see it with standardized infographics systems that fit with your trusted voice.
Animate the story
Case study: Spiegel Online
Nuclear Trouble
Tick, tick, tick … boom. The election of Donald Trump moved the Doomsday Clock closer to midnight than ever before. We created an animation for the online team at Spiegel magazine to inform readers what that actually meant, sparking a conversation on the site and across social media channels.
Setting the mood
Our illustrator let the topic dictate the style – choosing thematic colors and drawing from life to explain how nuclear processes work in the USA and Russia. The video is moody, dark and befits the story, delivering the news to Spiegel readers in a new and surprising way.
One graphic, many stories
TWO AND A HALF MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT was initially developed as a comic-style story for print. The strong illustrative style was successfully translated to video for Spiegel Online. It also exists as a scroll graphic that will allow readers to travel through the explosive story.
Make your graphic mark
Case study: ZDF Online and Neue Züricher Zeitung
One system for all channels
We work with media outlets – such as public broadcaster ZDF and Swiss newspaper Neue Züricher Zeitung – to develop editorial infographic systems that bring uniformity to all graphic built for their various mediums.
A matched set
Working with existing branding packages, we created an infographics system that fit in the with the outlets’ styles. The consistency allows readers to better orient themselves within articles. The only surprise should be what makes the fact newsworthy – not how they are presented.
Templates for everyday
The systems included everything from standards for bar charts and pie graphs to weather maps, data visualizations, illustrations and pictorial standards for using photos as infographics. Included are also font styles, headline formats and labeling guides.
Show and tell
Case study: DIE ZEIT
A Graphic Partnership
DIE ZEIT is a leading German national newspaper staffed with talent, but the daily news cycle means they can lack the time to illustrate bigger pictures. Our regular contributions include a visualization of how much water is needed to make everyday products and an analysis of the sinking of the Titanic. Several of the graphics were later compiled as part of a book.
