An interview with David McCandless

Synopsis

The Financial Times launches a new campaign called 'Stay on Top of the World,' featuring animated and interactive 3D infographics that cover economic and technology stories globally. Starting March 27 and running until March 29, commuters at Grand Central Station in New York will interact with these infographics. David McCandless, an infographic journalist and author of 'Information is Beautiful,' collaborates on these animations. He explains that infographics transform complex data into graphical forms that are easy to understand, helping people grasp important information and see connections between various ideas. The campaign highlights three main themes: the comparison of the US economy with rising economies like India and China, the impact of the mobile revolution on economies and work practices, and signs of global recovery amidst economic challenges.
