One of the multimedia projects put together by the Miami Herald is that of a graphic titled The Lives Of The Candidates. The graphic consists of a timeline used to document some of the achievements of the two up-running Presidential Candidates: John McCain and Barack Obama.
It is an informative and visual piece, which gives easy access to some of the history involving both candidates. The user can easily navigate over the year of interest, and read a blurb of that years description accompanied with a relating photograph.
Only through the timeline does one visually realize the rather large 25-year age difference between both candidates. It also stated that McCain graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy at the bottom of his class, whereas Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law School.
This small biographical timeline is a perfect source of information, for someone who has not read up on any information on either candidate, and does not have the time to read through a lengthy article before casting his/her vote.
