Infographic of the Decade: I Met the Walrus

USA Today, eat your heart out!  This is an incredibly beautiful animated short that depicts a 1969 interview between John Lennon and a young man who had snuck into his hotel room during John’s “bed-in” for peace phase.  The animation has a unique stream of consciousness approach to illustrating the dialogue that puts it somewhere between cartoon and infographic.  Notice the very sparse use of color (pink, brown) and incredible aesthetic throughout the whole piece.  Also, note the very thoughtful graphics and how they cleverly enhance the meaning of the dialog.

This is fantastic. A testament to the power of visuals in storytelling. Emotion-rich.
