Take a picture of your past

The truth behind the logo
Viktor Hertz is on a roll! After his clever Pictogram Movie Posters went viral, you would have thought that he’d sit back and take a break. Instead, Hertz pumped out this hilarious set called Honest Logos which he describes as “revealing the actual content of the company” or “what they really should be called.”
Do you agree? :)

Simple is better
Viktor Hertz combines two of his greatest hobbies, graphic design and film, into a clever series starring pictograms! Often seen on signs or instruction manuals, pictograms serve as our universal language, a way for all of us to quickly figure out where we’re going or what we’re (not) allowed to do. To him, this set became Hertz’s “form of expression,” a way to...

When reality goes beyond fiction
An aurora is a natural light display in the sky, particularly in the polar regions, caused by the collision of charged particles directed by the Earth’s magnetic field.

Too many screws? Get rid of them artistically
Andrew Myers creates incredible 3D portraits by driving thousands of screws into plywood.
The technic is “simple”:
- He starts with a base, plywood panel and then places pages of a phone book on top.
- He then draws out a face and pre-drills 8000 to 10000 holes, by hand.
- As he drills in the screws, he doesn’t use any software to guide him, he figures it out as...
