15 Second Debates
Designer · Perfect Fools + CNN, 2013
Ahead of a national election in Germany, CNN sponsored #15SecondDebates, using Twitter as a platform for politicians to share and debate policy positions. Each day a policy question was posed to the leaders of the major political parties who were given 15 seconds to state their opinion. Each speaker could post rebuttals to other positions.
A dynamic color coded cloud of bubbles represented the audience response to each party’s submissions.
The background color shifted to highlight the party affiliation of each speaker.
