  • News graphics such as those produced by Graphic News use a combination of words, pictures and drawn elements to explain the news succinctly and visually. Topical stories are covered of broad international interest... current affairs and politics, sport, motoring, science and technology, health, showbiz and movies.
  • Static graphics: These are produced in Adobe Illustrator and made available in formats for print or web use. Graphics are designed in layers with three views preset, and the graphic elements grouped so the graphic can be easily modified and the text edited or translated, or the elements used separately in your own graphics, subject to our User Terms. Graphics are supplied in English, Arabic, Dutch, Spanish, Portugese, and German
  • Interactive graphics are produced in Adobe Flash and may contain not only animated sections but also video, slide shows and sound. Interactive sports graphics may also include live results that update automatically. Interactive graphics are designed so the text can be edited or translated with no knowledge of Flash and using only Flash Player and a simple text editor that are freely available. Interactives are supplied in English, German, Dutch and Spanish. Arabic interactives (at the moment) are supplied with the text included in the SWF file. FLA files are supplied as well as the SWF so the graphics can be modified by graphic designers with the appropriate Flash expertise.
  • The Graphic News Website includes not only new topical graphics but also the Graphic News Archive, every graphic since the service started in 1991 (over 29,000). This is an invaluable resource enabling your in-house graphics team to respond rapidly to editorial needs.
  • The Graphic News Service is a subscription service for newspapers, news-related magazines and websites. A range of alternative deals are available. Graphic News aims to make available to publishers at a price they can afford graphics of the highest quality, comparable with those in the best corporate publications and advertising.
