UK Election – climate issues

I was asked by Channel 4 News to create a graphic about the issues the next UK government will face with climate change and the environment, a subject which has barely been debated in the campaign. It was a quick turnaround, so in the spirit of recycling, you may have seen some of these elements before! Reporter Alex Thomson, produced by Louise Turner and Rachel Seifert. Two day project.

HSIB Maternity investigation report graphics

A selection of news graphics made showing the process of HSIB Maternity investigations for a Channel 4 News report, and HSIB’s performance. These are always tricky graphics to make, as the subject is obviously hugely sensitive, and the statistics need to be clear but engaging. Striking the right visual tone for a news report on a serious subject is one of the biggest challenges. There were also photo montage sequences for the report showing the case study, but the two examples below required the most thought from me. Reporter Victoria McDonald, produced by Gracie Jerome. Three day project.

UK hedgerow wildlife in decline

A graphic for a Channel 4 News report into the decline of hedgerows across the UK, and the drastic effect this has had on the biodiversity of the countryside. I tried to create a woodcut style effect to these graphics, to give it an illustrative, rustic feeling. I kept the animations to each element simple as it is a lot to visually digest in a news report!
