Funny how we’ve seen a number of witty visuals by Malaysian illustrator and graphic designer ilovedoodle or Lim Heng Swee everywhere — such as the one of the Lego block refusing to let go, the drum-beating heart, and the penguin changing into a can, to name a few — but never realized he was the [...]

Drawing statistical data from Data.gov and CIA World Factbook about migration, population density, temperature, UV radiation, GDP, and transport, Dutch designer Reineke Otten collaborated with LUST designers to translate these stats into a graphic code with eight overlapping layers.
