Making the complex beautifully simple
I have worked with The Guardian since 2021, originally providing design and animation support to their Media team as they produced six short films to expand on recent Guardian exclusives (of which 'Fukushima', 'Tax havens' and 'Weather apps' are featured below).
Following this I was commissioned for a variety of design tasks in various departments: reviewing the Guardian YouTube channel graphics, designing layouts and infographics for social media, implementing Google Web Stories and perhaps most notably, providing animation and motion graphic assets for Guardian Australia's 2022 General Election coverage.
At this point, I was then introduced to the (Oscar and Bafta-winning) 'Special Projects' team and since then my main contribution has been providing art direction and animations for their film and documentary output.

Please note: When I edit these showreel examples I obviously highlight my own art direction, animation and motion design contributions but that certainly doesn't mean that I am entirely responsible for every visual shown. I have been fortunate to collaborate with many exceptionally talented colleagues — those that I can recall at the time of writing are listed below:

| Laurence Topham — Director/Producer |

Nigel Farage x Cameo — The Guardian
A Guardian investigation revealed that Nigel Farage's paid-for Cameo videos had been used to voice support for a neo-Nazi event and repeat far-right slogans — a story that ran straight to the top of the news agenda. Warwicka made the lead motion-graphics film that carried it: the piece built to turn a dense, fast-moving exposé into something clear, watchable, and hard to look away from.
The brief was pace and clarity under pressure. Working from the reporting, the footage and the data, Warwicka art-directed and animated the whole thing end to end — cutting the Cameo clips, broadcast news and YouGov polling into a single driving sequence, and setting the typography and motion graphics so the evidence leads and the viewer never loses the thread. Built in Illustrator, Photoshop and After Effects, and designed to hold up on the Guardian's site and across social.

Manosphere — The Guardian
I supported The Guardian’s interactive “Money, muscles and anxiety: why the manosphere clicked with young men - a visual deep dive” as motion design/animation advisor and editor.
I shaped the motion language and pacing, advised on transitions and type-in-motion, edited the interview sequences, and carried out lots of rotoscoping to integrate the contributors seamlessly within the graphic environment.

Save the Planet — The Guardian
"In a crucial year for the climate, award-winning Guardian environment editor Fiona Harvey reflects on 30 years of Cops and meets the politicians, activists and scientists asking who is responsible for saving the planet. In November last year, the world’s gaze focused on Glasgow at Cop26 as 'a historic, collective achievement' was forged between 200 countries – the Glasgow climate pact. Since then, unprecedented global events have threatened this commitment to limiting climate destruction, and the hopes of 'keeping 1.5 alive' have been dashed. We follow Fiona as she prepares for Cop27 in Egypt, asking presidents, global leaders, activists and scientists if global diplomacy is enough to save humanity from the brink of annihilation"
