It’s often necessary to think outside the box in order to make a strong statement, and the partnership between CNN and Hulu does just that. Created to promote Hulu’s series, The Looming Tower, this living piece of content offers readers a wealth of information on the Iraq war, from the lead-up to the aftermath. The number of resources packed into this article is staggering, from videos and images to illustrations that come to life as you scroll. Sophisticated and heavily researched, this collaboration shows both CNN’s editorial prowess and Hulu’s investment in creating a show that’s hard-hitting and factually accurate.


For a complicated story like this, it’s important to have a clear, simple design. We took a global focus and referenced Italian art magazines, Polish museum exhibits, and military battle plans to create our final design.
