Peter Chmela – “Don’t judge people according to their appearance.” This is a brilliant photographic project filmed by Peter Chmela. If you look carefully, you can see that each photo spells out a word of the title phrase.

A Street Anatomy fan by the nickname Faii, recently submitted this anatomical interpretation of the alphabet. I love that the letter ‘D’ is the spleen, it’s my favorite little organ!
Awesome design with Arabic lettering reading “Human”, a short explanation by artist Islam Zayed: An experiment with the Arabic letter forms, wanted to make something with lots of contrast between the strokes. The word reads “human” and the spelling is… Read More »Human
