What was your favorite thing you saw on the tables this year?
“The Eureka magazine entry showed how to rethink – how to reinvent – journalism.”
Do you have any advice for graphic designers entering the contest?
“In infographics, I have seen more design than journalism. When it comes to a newspaper, an infographic has to follow the same rules as a written story. Show respect for your readers and think about the story – think about journalism – first. We’re making newspapers not pieces for designers.”
What do you like to do for fun?
“I love to fly back to Rio.”
