Behind the scenes of Washington Post’s “On the trail of a serial rapist”
Today Kat Downs, Information Designer at The Washington Post, details her experience designing and building the impressive interface for the series “On the trail of a serial rapist.” I asked her to describe her experience organizing this data-rich story into a clean and compelling interface because I think that many of you will be faced with a similar situation (if you haven’t been already). I know I was overwhelmed when I produced “Above the Law?” for The Roanoke Times! Years of court cases, connections, archival footage, and the endless other resources may become baffling, but the trick is to parse and present it in a consistent manner. I hope you take the time to read about Kat’s trials and tribulations so you are prepared when you are tasked with a similar assignment!

Since October, I have been receiving at least one email a week on my deeplinking with SWFAddress tutorial. I thought that one in particular might be of use to others trying to master deeplinking, so I am posting it here with his approval.
Example files and tips for deeplinking with Flash SWF Address
Back in October I wrote a tutorial on how to utilizing deep links in Flash files. This post has consistently been the most viewed page on the site and I have been receiving several emails asking for help fixing bugs. Although I am happy to help individual cases, I decided it might be best to provide my files as well as publish other II reader’s trials, tribulations and success stories to help everyone out there who is also working with SWF Address.
