Color symbolism chart


^click image to enlarge^

This chart is great.
I found a tweet about it from @Alyssa_Milano.
It both simply and beautifully charts the
varying symbolism of key colors in
different cultures around the world,
from red to white, and from mourning to modesty.
It goes to show that color really does
help us make sense of the world
and really is universal.
See the short photo story of how a version
of this image ended up as the 91st
and final cover design of the book,
Information is Beautiful.


Check out the full sized image here.

What happens and what to do if you get arrested for graffiti



The information in this talk by an unknown woman is invaluable. Listen to it.

As an extra bonus, there’s a lot of good footage of
New York City Subway trains covered in graffiti.

The Hollywood Sign Hotel Concept





^click images to enlarge^


Danish architect Christian Bay-Jorgensen
has drawn up some ideas to convert the famous
Hollywood sign in California into a hotel.
The sign’s letters will have to be made
bigger and built with extensions towards
the back to accommodate a large number of guests,
but I think this might be a fun place to stay!
If anything, it will offer some
great views of the city below, no?
