Moving News stories


Stephen Vuillemin created this editorial gif for a New York Times story on Media Violence. 

I like that the colours are contrasting in vibrancy from the tv to the room. The way he's worked in shape makes it seem slighlty more realistic in a way, like we don't have bold outlines in real life. Instead he's only used line when it is needed to show a bend or crease in a block of colour, and then in a darker and richer tone so that it compliments the colour it is sat on.

I think that, with more news being read online rather than in a paper, short gifs can be used for editorial illustration. Its like illustration taking advantage of the technology available.
