Wow, seriously? A box this big to fit another box the size of the shipping label? What a waste of space.

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?
Anatomy of a Blue Whale
March 23, 2009 @ 4:51 pm
National Geographic has this neat little interactive graphic that visually compares the size of a blue whale with other large objects and animals.
The video of a ship strike on a blue whale is shocking, but so is the rest of the threats that blue whales face on a day to day basis.
If you still aren’t grasping the size of a blue whale, consider this life-size visual from the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society.
Transport For London: “Optical Illusions”
March 19, 2009 @ 12:57 am
M&C Saatchi created this “Optical Illusions” PSA for Transport For London. It talks about how motorists often misjudge the distances and size of things when other factors are in view. It’s certainly an in-your-face type of ad but for good reason. [via]
Evolution of the American Household
February 5, 2009 @ 4:03 pm
Woman’s Day magazine has a very tall image (seriously, it’s very long height-wise) on the evolution of the [American] household. It starts out in the 1950’s era and goes all the way up to today, and in the image you can see how the house and family have changed, grown, and shrunk over the years. It even includes facts about the average time spent in front of the television, and as you can imagine, this number rises gradually as the years go by. But it’s not just all physical characterstics either. The evolution of the household is a good snapshot of how the nation has changed in the way it thinks about the family and the opportunities available to each family member (women in the workforce and # of people who have college degrees is one way this is gauged).
It’s a pretty good all-in-one look at the American family and the things they do. Check it out and see if you fit in with the average household in the 2000’s. Thanks Presurfer!
Ideal body sizes for women (in the UK)
October 24, 2008 @ 10:32 am
Fabulous Magazine in the UK conducted a national survey where they asked men and women to describe their ideal body size. The differences were quite dramatic between the two genders with men leaning toward a more voluptuous body shape and women wanting a more stick-like figure. The image above pretty much sums it all up.
I wonder what this image would look like if the same survey was conducted in the US.
Deal of the Day!
