Size 10 across 65 brands


This interactive is special in my heart. I successfully applied a .csv (spreadsheet) file adapted with jquery to respond to the user's brand selection. The whole brand list is populated from the .csv file as well. And, the design is responsive. 

This interactive is a triumph.

24 tips for Christmas budget



There's some pretty good info in here. I tried to make it like an advent calendar. However, instead of a bit of chocolate, you get sage financial advice.

Remaking the states - 3D graphic

http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/tony-abbott-takes-gamble-on-federation-reform-20141031-11eqzu.html

My first illustrative graphic in the print paper. whoo! this has taught me that I really should take pics of the other print graphics I make - b/c newsprint is quite ethereal. I received a credit byline in the print version, but not the online version. That's OK, we all know who I am.

Beach suburbs property sales interactive

http://news.domain.com.au/domain/real-estate-news/bill-granger-sells-for-about-35-million-in-bronte-20141101-11fgjg.html

Who wants to buy an apartment for an average of $800,000 because it's near a Sydney beach? Apparently a lot of people. 

I'm particularly proud of the mobile version of this interactive. It's design overkill for the subject matter, but I take pride in my inconsequential one day interactives.

Quiz of HSC mathematics

HSC tests are taken by year 12 students looking for a good placement in a university. Some say it's too hard, others say the past is better. I made a quiz that contains a set of real life HSC questions. I got 6/10 correct. You may use a calculator. I have no idea how probability works.

Gough Whitlam policies

former famous and infamous Australian prime minister died on Tuesday the 21st. I made a sliding interactive about some of his lasting or notable policies.

NSW crime - interactive

http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/nsws-new-crime-capital-moree-20140905-10clfb.html

We are excited to announce that Mallory has learned to make mobile versions of her interactives reliably.

Though mobile versions are not necessary for everything I make; it is quite exciting to be able to deliver content to more users. Mobile versions are tricky because every interactive I make, if uploaded a  certain way, has to adapt to tablet, web, and mobile screen sizes - I cannot make a different interactive for each device.

Responsive design boys and girls! it's the future we have had thrust upon us.

Good Food Guide 2015 - interactive about hats


http://www.goodfood.com.au/good-food/good-food-guide/the-sydney-morning-herald-good-food-guide-2015-the-hats-20140901-3eo84.html

Good Food awards 1, 2 or 3 hats to notable restaurants in the area. This interactive is about super cool restaurants in the NSW region. It's unlikely I will ever eat at a 3 hat restaurant. But a 2-hat newcomer 'Ester' is right around the corner from my apt.  

Millers Point - microsite

http://www.smh.com.au/interactive/2014/millers-point/

comprehensive overview of government sell off of public housing in an old Sydney suburb. The property value is high and some of the residents are very unwilling to leave.

Oxford St - microsite

One of the first projects in which I was involved.

Gaza family losses - interactive showing families in Gaza who have lost four or more members

http://www.smh.com.au/world/as-the-dust-settles-in-gaza-devastated-families-mourn-their-dead-20140815-104cgm.html

This page is quite exciting: there are 3 interactives! Up top we have an overview of the most recent Israel/Palestine conflict, closely followed by 8 personal stories from families in the Gaza strip. Then, scroll far down the page, and you'll find my interactive. It's a long page, so get your scrolling finger stretched out before starting.

MH17 aussie deaths - interactive showing the Australians who died in the Malaysian Air crash in Ukraine

http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/mh17-crash-russia-furious-at-unacceptable-tony-abbott-comments-20140719-zuq68.html

I made a small version that went into the bottom of the article. A larger version was completed later with a dedicated page:
