I think there is something very interesting happening here, firstly - for a 'design' point of view - these are stylistically very much like something you would see in The Guardian, The Times is making a huge investment in this media and taken huge risks by placing their website behind a paywall, I've never like the way they work visually in print - but these are good. The simple stuff - like the visualisation of the national debt - work well, and really aid the absorption of the information - the Battle of Britain slideshow is also very strong and appropriate.
Two really important things to understand now.
1. The technical skill demanded by the industry now is very, very high - you need to understand that any potential employer will demand you are either proficient - or sympathetic to new media ( they are two, very different things - think about that )
2. From a graphic design point of view - these are also very, very good - the designer understood the platform and made his image, typography and animation work with it to enhance the consumers 'experience' of information - the reader is no loner a passive element in design - he is working with you.
This means that we are in a unique position of having an industry that's more advanced and fast moving than ever before - yet the core traditional skills of layout, composition and typographic excellence have never been more important!

The 10 iPad apps help children
Teachers and doctors are using iPads as a tool to reach out to children with Autism or Asperger Syndrome and the results are remarkably great. Autistic children are showing tremendous improvement after playing fun-filled exercises on iPad which is less stressful and more fun for both the teachers and the students. Below is the list of 10 best iPad applications to give Autism a voice.
Those who don’t know, Autism is a lifelong disability that affects the way a person communicates and relates to other people and the world around them. Those affected typically display major impairments in three areas: social interaction, communication and behavior (restricted interests and repetitive behaviors). 1 in 160 children have autism in some form, making it twice as common as cystic fibrosis, cerebral palsy, childhood deafness or blindness and ten times more common than childhood leukemia.
Proloquo2Go – A must have app that provides you with a full-featured augmentative and alternative communication solution for autistic children who have difficulty speaking.
It contains text-to-speech voices, up-to-date symbols, powerful automatic conjugations, a default vocabulary and much more. Proloquo2Go is considered as a good alternative against buying an expensive AAC device. Even SLPs, teachers and parents recommend it for children and adults with autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, developmental disabilities, apraxia, ALS, stroke or traumatic brain injury. Proloque2Go app for iPhone and iPad is available for $189.99.
Grace - Gracefully help autistic and other special needs children to communicate effectively by building sentences from relevant images to form sentences.
You can easily customize the app by using picture and photo vocabulary of your choice. The application works in real time and allows the user to select their preferences, then (on iPhone) rotate the device to present a full-sized sentence to the listener – who will read it with them and respond to their request. You can currently have up to eight cards in a ’sentence’, and the cards are large enough on iPad to not need a full-screen view.
The beauty of Grace is that it ensures the interaction of the user with the listener, and mutual understanding of the user’s real needs help to increase communication opportunities and build trust. The Grace iPhone app was designed by Lisa Domican, a mother of two autistic children in Ireland. Grace for iPhone and iPad is available for $37.99.
iCommunicate for iPad - If your child is suffering from autism or visual challenges then this app is for you. It allows you to create pictures, flashcards, storyboards, routines, visual schedules and record custom audio in any language.

“A must have if your child has autism! I have a number of apps downloaded on my iPad for my autistic son, and iCommunicate is by far the most useful and easy to use. My son is only 26 months old, yet he is able to enjoy the program. It is so versatile that we could get a Google image of Itsy Bitsy Spider and all he has to do is touch the picture and he is rewarded with a song!”
First Then Visual Schedule - The app allows you to create visual schedules that provide positive behavior support through the use of images that show daily events(i.e. morning routine or therapy schedule) or steps needed to complete a specific activity, (i.e. using the restroom).
First-Then Visual Schedule is unique in that it is completely customizable to each user’s individual needs. Users can add personal voice recordings and images directly from their computer or iPhone camera (in addition to the images in the application’s stock library) to create a schedule. This personalization allows for schedules to be created and updated on the go, helping transition through unexpected changes in a daily routine.
Extremely useful for individuals with developmental delays, Autism Spectrum Disorders, communication problem or those who benefit from a structured environment; visual schedules serve to increase independence and lower anxiety during transitions through different activities. First-Then Visual Schedule is available at the App Store for $9.99. It is currently offered in English, and is compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch.
iConverse (pictured) - It is an iPhone and iPod touch application that functions much like a picture exchange communication system (PECS) designed specifically for autistic individuals, and individuals with other communicative disabilities.
iConverse comes packed with 6 built in communication tiles that represent a person’s most basic needs. When activated by touch, the icons give both an auditory and visual representation of the specific need or want. You can even create your own tiles, use the built in text-to-speech engine, or record your own voice! iConverse app for iPhone and iPad is available for $9.99.

Stories2learn app for iPhone and iPad is available for $13.99.
MyTalk Mobile – Yet another useful app for your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad that enables people with communication difficulties to express their needs and desires to those around them through a variety of images, pictures, symbols and audio files including human voice.

You can add your own pictures, photos and sounds. Albums created in TapToTalk Designer are “synced” over the Internet directly to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. TapToTalk app is available for free.
