This is the design that BBDK created for an independent beverage company that makes 100% natural carbonated juices. They re-branded the beverage as ‘100%’ and printed the numbers very large on the bottles label. Very nice!

Number of suicides on the Golden Gate Bridge

Strange Maps has uncovered this image from the SFGate that shows the number of suicides that have taken place on the Golden Gate Bridge based on the location of the jumper. The Golden Gate Bridge is divided up into 128 poles with even-numbered poles on the West side of bridge (where there is a bike path) and odd-numbered poles on the East side (where there is a pedestrian walkway).

From the image above, one would conclude that pole 69 is the place where the most suicides take place, presumably because it is the highest point on the bridge and thus the furthest distance down to the water.

A sad infographic indeed, and one that definitely makes me think of the documentary The Bridge which I saw earlier on this year.

Speedometer (Concept) from Daniil Rassadin on Vimeo.

I wonder if having a speedometer that showed numbers increasing in size and changing in color would prevent people from speeding. I find this speedometer concept a lot easier to read and notice. Anybody else think the same?

REload’s custom stock with big numbers

Wow, I would love to put a huge single digit on my messenger. You know, so that I’ll look like a stock car on the road even though I’m only on two wheels. Haha. But seriously, this batch of custom stock from REload is pretty neat.

Thanks Prolly for the pic!

TSOVET SVT-CS79

I love my classic G-Shock but I’ve always wanted a simple, black analog watch as an alternative. I don’t know how to explain it, but I get a better sense of time by looking at the face of an analog clock. Maybe it’s the use of physical space in the circle or something. Anyway, this particular model, SVT-CS79 is pretty much what I’d want in an analog watch — big numbers, great contrasting colors, and a nice band.

I’m not even going to bother looking up the price on this one though because I’m pretty sure I can’t afford its looks. SAD FACE.

If you’ve got a good suggestion for a classic analog wrist watch, leave a comment (and a link/picture) in the comments! Thanks!
