The Guardian Twitter replay

Personally I’m still not convinced about this Twitter replay. I’m not on Twtiter as I find It all a bit self obsessed, and I hate even saying or hearing the word.
My point is I love football and I would much prefer to watch the game than to watch bubbles smash my computer.
Sadly I was away when the final designs for this were finished, and because of that a lot of what alot of what I did wasn’t used. The style of the bubbles are all that remains, and some other little bits.

I’ll add a bit more in the 2010 archive.

It was the year Barack Obama took office, Britain entered recession, MPs’ expenses were exposed to public scrutiny, Iranians protested after a flawed presidential election, Michael Jackson died and the Copenhagen climate summit ended in recriminations and a flawed deal.

Alastair Dant and myself worked on this for the Guardian. Nice to do anything full screen. Each thumbnail is a day the biggest story of that day, Nice Idea and works well apart from I did not do the logo in the top right….
