Flags By Color
In his Flags By Color project, Shahee Ilyas uses a list of countries generated by The World Factbook along with the world’s national flag images fetched from Wikipedia to produce a series of charts that break down the color proportions for each flag. These proportions of color are then displayed in a single chart revealing the color proportions of all of the flags of the world combined. This project was generated entirely with script.
Protect Yourself Against the Swine Flu… With Style!
The World Health Organization has raised the Swine Flu alert level to 5, meaning a pandemic is imminent. Not funny. Some people, however, are having fun. In Mexico everyone is wearing surgical facemasks for flu protection. People are getting bored of wearing the same mask, so they have started decorating them in all kinds of styles. As you can see, many of them show their always ironic look at death and fascination with los muertos. [Via Gizmodo]
pioneer of multitouch
Remember Jeff Han in 2006 during his TED talk on multitouch sensing? (http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/jeff_han_demos_his_breakthrough_touchscreen.html) His innovations have become standard, and his company Perceptive Pixel just won the 2009 National Design Award from the Smithsonian Institution’s Cooper-Hewitt Museum. However, he is not the first… Bill Buxton in the 80’s was already experimenting with multitouch before the technology became massively accessible. Ironically enough, he now works in Microsoft Research to improve their design vision. But of course, Buxton wasn’t the first either. For a more comprehensive view check out the overview Multitouch Systems that I have Known and Loved.
