Comments: “The Wall Street Journal blew our mind in how brilliantly simple this piece was. It’s an important story told in a perfect way. People talk about political bubbles conceptually, but they actually went out and made it into something that shows it exists. The piece provides utility and continues to do its job after the election. The design isn’t mindblowing, but it doesn’t need to be. However, the powerful simplicity of the idea is mindblowing. No tricks, no gimmicks, no videos, no maps. It’s something that’s in front of us that’s juxtaposed. Every time we look at it, we think, “That’s it. That’s the future.”
