Taking stuff apart: Nice maps on breaking news (MH17 crash) by the NYTimes
The NYTimes.com is impressive in many way. Their maps of the MH17 crash in Ukraine are equally so.
They seem to have an internal tool called “ai2html” that generates text over a PNG image (in HTML) from an Adobe Illustrator.
Those maps are probably then pasted into a responsive template that lets them go from a two-map arrangement (top picture: Ukraine and Europe + Eastern Ukraine) to a three-map one (bottom picture).
There seems to be a generated CSS that holds all the parts together (map and intro text). The news broke a bit before noon in Eastern Time, and they had the maps up within thee next two and half hours.
NYT Graphics Wins 2012 Missouri Honor Medal
The New York Times Graphics Department was one of 10 recipients of the 2012 Missouri Honor Medal. For some reason the school was not able to fly all 25 of us to mid-Missouri for the banquet, so, as the lone Mizzou grad on staff, they sent me to come pick it up.
Nice hardware! (Though sad they didn't make 25 of them...)
I also gave a talk to students about the work the department does. It's probably too sports-heavy in retrospect, but almost every student here was wearing Cardinals gear, so maybe it's a wash. Also it's the first time I used Mike Bostock's Stack.js and I'm almost positive I did it wrong, so don't pop the hood, for your own sake.
