Smart ads
I saw this photo of smart advertisement which cleverly make use of its medium to communicate the message across. Notice there’s not even a single word necessary to communicate the designers’ idea to the ads viewer. This reminds me of some creative ads I posted last year where a tangled electrical wire is smartly used to illustrate messiness.

Wiggle Stereoscopy
Martin Sutherland wrote a step-by-step guide on a new approach to produce 3D image without the need to wear red-blue glasses or other form of 3D glasses. His approach can be applied to most scenery, particularly those with one or two dominant subjects at the foreground, and a fairly far background. The 3D image is produced by flashing two images of the same scene taken from two angles. The result is pretty cool. Check out the 3D image below.
The first image wiggles as it flashes two similar images continuously, making the monster and the toddler appear far apart from the row of houses at the back. The second image is just one of the two images shown in the previous wiggling scene. You can compare how the second image looks so much flatter than the first wiggling image.
If you’re interested in the details of the making, read Martin’s post at his blog.

And we know there are plenty of choices to get a quick bite when the tummy growls.. but somehow we’re ended up at the same place. This graph brilliantly explains why it is so.
Hilariously true!
