As we all know, one image says more than 1000 words... now imagine a collection of images that represent more than 60 years of the history of the world!

And GOD created Keynote!

Explaining what we do here in the UN Department of Public Information, specifically within the news and media division, can be a challenging task. There are numerous sections, assorted media, different types of products and audiences to reach for... and all of this information had to be visualized and squeezed in a clear, concise and engaging presentation for the 20th of July.




Caroline Petit and myself where the brave ones that communicated our message to a large audience of about 200 interns at the UN Conference Room 4. The visual presentation was designed by me with the use of apple's Keynote and Adobe Photoshop and some transition techniques to help the fluidity of the displayed content.



Designing an effective presentation was difficult, as there is often a very short timeframe to complete the job and scarce source material to extract from. But all of this is part of a designer's role as an information agent. It doesn't matter what medium you use to communicate the message but how you can get the message out of the medium.

Accidentaly Documenting a Protest...

Last week, an impassioned crowd was forming around me on 2nd Avenue from 42nd to 43rd Streets as I walked towards the subway. The mass was gathering in protest of the current Israeli attack on Lebanon and the ongoing occupation of Palestine. When I realized what was happening, I reached for my right pocket, grabbed my camera and played reporter for a couple of minutes.
