One Page Graphic Novel: The Thames Megalodon

The above image appears to be some kind of map, but is actually an attempt to tell a big story within one frame. In a way, it is a game of narrative, as there is a list of important points to make as you guide yourself through it.

From the creaor, Henry Flint:

Welcome to a new story telling medium… the One Page Graphic Novel. Is this a gimmick? Yes, probably.

Keith is a dustman who is shot into the future by a Time Vortex. He meets three companions and they start an epic adventure and It’s up to you to fill in the gaps.

resident population vs daytime population of northwest England

We think about the population of places - and the associated local costs and constraints - in relation to resident population but in some areas the day time population is so high that the impact on the local area is far out of proportion to the size of the resident population. Another matter is the well known issue of spatial mismatch or, more generally, understanding the differences between where people live and where people work and the implications of this.

This infographic was created for The Times’ (of London) iPad app to illustrate the striking differences in health performance of regions in the North and South of England.

32 different indicators of health are accessed via a navigation wheel, giving access to colour coded maps of England. The profile of each region is accessible either via the map itself or through the navigation wheels at the foot of the page. A traffic light colour code indicates whether a statistic is better than (green), worse than (red) or not significantly different to (yellow) the national average.
