The art direction the director follows.
Every style is a full art direction, not a filter: its own palette, type, motion and music. This is the brief the director works from for Data-journalism dark.
- Look
- Drawn in code, no generated images: premium editorial data-journalism graphics on a deep charcoal ground, like a top newspaper's interactive feature — precise thin lines, restrained palette of one warm accent and one cool accent plus greys, elegant serif headlines, small sans-serif annotations with leader lines, a subtle baseline grid, spacious layout. Scenes are minimal vector illustrations, maps and charts.
- Motion
- Scrollytelling on a locked camera: charts build as the narration names them (axes first, then data drawing along, then the annotation); emphasis comes from the data itself — the key point brightens and grows while the rest dims to grey. The frame stays fixed so axes and numbers never slide while they are being read.
- Music
- Calm modern: soft piano motifs over subtle electronic textures and light pulses — thoughtful, trustworthy.
- Type
- Elegant serif for headlines (Tiempos/Source Serif-like), clean sans for annotations and numbers with tabular figures.
