Folha de São Paulo (Brazil)
Kuwait to Baghdad

Everyday we do two graphics. One is a map showing where the troops are and their movement.

The other graphic is a sketch to show more realistically what has happened in the war. We use light colors and few details.

We use information from the international agencies and from our staff reporters. We also have a freelance journalist that specializes in war coverage.

The feedback has been very positive. Especially for the sketches. People say they feel closer to the events.

The sketchs are done by William Mariotto
The maps are done by Mario Kanno
Our graphics editor is Massimo Gentile
