EPJ – multimedia presentation
October 19th, 2009 | Published in Romania
I started this assignment by looking at the usual multimedia long-term projects. I was thinking in terms of navigation, integrated audio, video and stills and so on. I switched from Mediastorm to COPY and POYi winner galleries and I was still undecided were to direct my attention.
Then I found a list of The Best of Multimedia Design winners published by the Society for News Design. This gave me the possibility to take a look at multimedia projects that are different in form and content from what I was used to. I was surprised how audio and a good flash design can make de difference between reading a long and probably boring article and getting factual information really fast. A Day’s Work, Four Days’ Pay demonstrates how multimedia, in this case good audio and graphics can substitute the common 1000 words article. There are no pictures, but the overall is so clean and concise that at the end of the 80 seconds you know exactly how a man was able to earn more than 5 times his regular salary over a one-year span. This is another good example how sometimes less is more.
