It’s what drew me to the field in the first place (plus during the summers I get to wear flip-flops! woo!). I was surfing around on motionographer last night and came across a posting about some students at supinfocom, an art and design school in France, and the incredible work they’ve been producing.

from the hoop is what Arnoux Anthony, Dessinges Rémi and Fesquet Guillaume created.

Here’s a blurb from www.fromthehoop.com

Story of From the hoop is inspired by Earl Manigault‘s life. Earl Manigault was one of the greatest basketball player of his generation. Mentored by Holcombe Rucker through his youth he became the star of his high school team. As an universitary champion, he seemed destined to shine in NBA. But before the transition, he fell into drugs and lead his life far away from the basket. After dark years made of jail, drugs and friend’s death, he gave up this world to return in the right way to Harlem. He started the “Walk Away From Drugs” tournament for kids in Harlem. He died in 1998 from a heart failure.

It’s a fantastic example of how elegant infographics and clear intent and explanation can make even the most complex and serious issues at least somewhat understandable.
