The Independent Infographic

I know Jason already posted this yesterday, but for those of you who missed it, here’s the front page of The Independent print edition for July 21, 2006, courtesy of the Newseum.

The message in that infographic is clear and powerful, and much more obvious than any 600 word article ever could be. The excellent integration of the infographic will guarantee that not only will The Independent capture the attention of its readers, but will also appeal to people passing by the newsboxes.

It makes me happy to see good design and great content coming together like this.
