Here’s a selection below from our surfing of the design blogs Dezeen and It’s Nice That (and we always extend a hand to creatives who want to help us visualise, narrate and dramatise alternatives to a broken politics - mail us here).
From Dezeen: “Animated illustrations [below] by cartoonist Toby Morris and microbiologist Siouxsie Wiles explaining the importance of social distancing during the coronavirus outbreak have gone viral after they were published by a website in New Zealand.”
