The Surge is a cinematic, online adaptation of the groundbreaking Polio article featured in WIRED’s special Bill Gates December issue.
This web feature represents a push into more immersive, cinematic storytelling. Enhanced by the animated introduction and spare typography, this story exposes the resurgence of the disease polio in the Middle East. The design had to respectfully, yet artfully, represent this somber subject matter.
