Event: SND2020 Virtual Conference
Date: September 28, 2020

Taking the infographic “Arrested development” as an example, we will look at how the SCMP embraces a different approach to the print and digital versions of the same story. This particular project was developed to a breaking news cycle while other projects might unfold over several weeks or even months. You will learn how the SCMP infographic team tackles various projects by applying different types of visual narratives.
