BBC Sport: World Cup goal analysis

The Brief

In 2010 BBC Sport had a desire to add interest to their World Cup coverage. The department did not have the resource to produce any extra content. I was approached to help them. As the only person working on the project, I covered every aspect; concepts, data collection, and design.

 

Delivery

+ A series of graphics that focused on goal analysis

 

+ Well executed graphics, meant that could be analysed

 

+ Data collection during live games, and delivering graphics shortly after the final whistle to be uploaded to the BBC Sport site

 Developing the concept: Euro 2012

For the European championships I developed the concept in to a match analysis graphic that focused on goals scored and shots on target, on a game by game basis. The idea was to give a more rounded picture of the ‘pattern of play’

In preparation for the Netherlands vs Germany I used the ‘pattern of play’ concept as a pre-match graphic. With Editorial content this could work well as a pre-match analysis tool.
