This past weekend I had the pleasure to speak at ONA09 in a panel (#ONAux) with Aron Pilhofer and Elliott Malkin of the NYT and Jesse James Garrett of Adaptive Path. I spoke briefly about the new challenges of designing online, the importance of capturing attention, and specifically how animation and interaction can help draw viewers in to interactive graphics.

I’m happy to make public the slides I used for my talk at /else/ona09.

I made reference to The Dot and The Line, and some of my work at the NYT:

• A Map of Olympic Medals
• Winners in a Long Presidential Campaign
• A Collection of Olympic Torches
