CNBC's brilliant information display of BP FAIL This brilliant piece of information design from CNBC juxtaposed two live video feeds, a data chart updated in real time, and a news ticker to visually demonstrate cause and effect: (1) Deadly explosion dumps millions of gallons of oil into fragile ecosystem. (2) Pollution mogul Tony Hayward hauled in front of Congressional committee. (3) As he talks, stock price fluctuates. (4) Result is net loss on the trading day. (5) Standard & Poor's is seriously not f**king impressed. 18.jun.2010 culture design 2 comments getting comments...hide comments post a comment
