One of my pet peeves is when a designer has clearly not thought through how the product will actually be used.
This lotion bottle has a two (almost) identical sides, but the lotion only comes out one of them. In low light or without your glasses on, it’s always a gamble!
This also brings to mind the (in)famous Walkie-Talkie tower in London that concentrates the energy of the sun so much you can cook an egg in the heat
One of my favorite nerdy activities is visualizing data; helping to communicate numbers and ideas in an accessible way. I made this chart below to showcase the stages of a banana ripening, and the usage zones. It was inspired by my dad (Opa to my kids) who is very picky about his bananas!
I spotted this in Sayulita, Mexico. I love how they committed to painting the rolling shutters to perfectly frame the plant (at its current size).
I spotted this warning sign in a small Alaskan town and appreciated how the designer made it angry electricity attacking a young child. Not exactly comforting, nor technically accurate, but hopefully keeps people from trying to open it!
I spotted this cellular tower in Los Angeles, and while I applaud the effort to blend in, I’m not sold on the execution, especially with the warning sign on the bottom.
