- What a lot of these people don't understand is that many positions in the design industry do not offer the significant and open-ended challenge that a project like this offered. Finding a 'project' or 'competition' that allows us to think outside the box, challenge ourselves and test our skills, while adding a completed 'pro-bono' piece to our portfolio (the most important item we carry when competing for a job) is often a welcome break from the monotony of our salaried jobs.. Sure, these projects are worthy of payment if that was offered in the first place, but a project like this should not simply be waived off as being exploitative.. those who didn't want to do it, DIDN'T and they should keep their opinion of those who DID choose to work on these to themselves!! WNYC is a non-profit organization, and if you don't wish to donate a bit of time and effort to an interesting little project, then better you keep your mouths shut and keep on walking. I applaud those who worked so hard on these.. You made these personal by choosing only the information you wanted to represent and offered the listeners of WNYC a wonderful visual medium to interpret those daunting numbers. I downloaded that data!! ..and believe me, it was no easy task to decipher, which is why I left the analysis to those more talented than I, and remain an appreciative observer..
Bravo!
