Transparency International – Educational Animation

Committed to the scrutiny of corporate and political corruption, Transparency International are all about cutting through the fog of words that are often abused by those seeking to hide their misdeeds. Nevertheless, it’s difficult to talk about these activities without a smattering of financial jargon.

I was commissioned to design and animate short illustrations to accompany several definitions in a glossary of such jargon. Although my contribution was designed and animated in Flash, the end product was built in HTML5 by an exceptional web development team. This pleased me, as it means the content can be enjoyed on mobile devices that don’t support Flash, and demonstrates how this kind of simple animation can be used to great effect within a web-based glossary.

Visit the Transparency International website to see the full glossary, which contains sixty short looping animations.
