Imagine the world of Pooh without all the endearing idiosyncracies. This poster drives home the point of our overmedicated society. I kind of think pharmaceutical companies have a little bit of a slanted agenda. Just a wee tiny bit. Created by Dan Meth.
Can't decide if you want to go for a jog or a take a bike for a spin? No problem - you can do both at once - at least according to Todd Kundla, who makes wacky mutant bikes like the above Shoe Bike. I'm guessing this is a good workout machine - it must take a lot more muscle to pedal this beast than any standard-issue bike. Photography by Jay Janner.
There's nothing like cute salt and pepper shakers to make an ordinary meal on an ordinary seem a little brighter. Above, Koziol of Germany created these birds on a tree salt and pepper shaker set. You can buy it here.
More salty-and-peppery cuteness after the jump.
Monkey Business, an Israel-based design studio created Rainshakers, shaped like rain clouds. Designed by Sooda Mayer. Buy them here.
The famed Italian design house, Alessi, makes these fun, toy-like salt and pepper shakers with a little toothpick-holder critter to finish off the table top scene. Buy the set.
Can you roll me the salt please? Troika (Markus Gläser/Michael Kibler) designed Fastfood, a ceramic egg-shaped car salt shaker on wheels. Passing the salt was never so easy (or fun!) Buy it here.
It also comes in a really cute egg-box package.
Pepper and Salt are also the initials in the Adobe Photoshop software icon (Ps). Designed by Frack Design.
A beauty from Charles & Mary. This set look like pebbles stacked one on top of the other for a real zen atmosphere.
Myan Duong designed salt and pepper shakes that look uncannilly like cigarettes. Interesting idea, but I don't know if I'd feel great shaking this into food.
We end off with the Brooklyn studio, Domestic Aesthetic's natural materials shaker set (probably my favorite!), available for purchase at Branch.
There's something incredibly winning about this huge clothespin pinching the landscape like a green wooly blanket. Photograph on flickr: mmarsupilami's stream
I love these nifty advertisments for 'new' life changing technologies. They'll shave off hours of letter writing a day and allow you to spend more time with your feet up doing sweet nothing. These ads were aparently created by agency Moma São Paulo.

Phil Gyford prepared an infographic to dis all useless infographics.
Infographics (the art of turning raw, boring data into visually appealing displays and charts) has gained popularity in the last few years as a hot new frontier in graphic design (even though the craft itself is pretty old). It's easy to see why the technique is overused and in danger of being undervalued as a specialized form of graphic design.
