Visualizing the Inside Out



A design group from Hong Kong has come up with a clean and clever way to help the general public visualize the impact of the(nearly) invisible. These guys printed a poster (with a drawing of our respiratory system) with clear sticky ink. Over time, the image (of our lungs) became visible as airborne pollutants collected on the poster. This is definitely a great example of meaningful yet parsimonious design.

When I was in Junior High we did a similar experiment using double-sided tape, but the results weren't nearly as dramatic.
