BREAKING THE BLACK BOX

-Society for News Design Silver Award of Excellence-

-2017 Pulitzer Prize Finalist in Explanatory Reporting-

 

M.A.Y.O. contacted me to design and animate four online episodes for ProPublica's Breaking the Black Box series that explores artificial intelligence and its impact on our online lives. The piece follows along a voice over of Julia Angwin (Senior Reporter at ProPublica) as she explains each episodes topic in depth. The voice over provided a creative road map that the design and animation would follow.

Below is a quick edit of all the animation from the episodes, the four episodes in full, stills of style frames, gifs highlighting the animation different directions, and process.
