Popular Mechanics‘ November issue featured a story on the collapse of an 86 foot tall, 406 foot long, steel and tensioned fabric football practice facility due to violent winds and faulty engineering. This story was also released in the magazine’s sophomore iPad edition. I worked with AD John Walker to illustrate what transpired to bring the structure down on top of the 70 players, coaches, staff and media inside at the time.
This was my first time creating content specifically for the iPad, but having previously produced motion & interactive illustrations for the web, the process was smooth. The results can be seen by downloading Popular Mechanics Interactive in the iTunes store and purchasing the November 2010 issue, or right here in my motion graphics portfolio.
