Enlightening infographic
Toby Ng - The World of 100
Have you ever asked yourself, what would the World look like as a small community of 100 people? Probably not. However, it is something to think about, as the reality would be startling - as much as you’d think so, the village would only have 7 computers, and only 1 person in the World Village would be educated at University level.
These facts are something that designer Toby Ng has thought about very carefully, and turned the results of his findings into a series of twenty infographics depicting ‘The World of 100’. Although aesthetically beautiful, with sharp lines and bold, vibrant colours, these infographics are often horrifying.
The posters look as though they have come straight out of a children’s book; is this to mirror the naivety of those that are most likely to be looking at them on their computers?
“Look, this is the World we are living in.”

“see-saw table by marleen jansen”
during milan design week 2012, the exhibition tuttobene presents the exhibition ’the new glint of things’, showcasing young dutch designers. amongst the concepts, is ‘the courtesy table’ by marleen jansen. based on the idea of a see-saw, the table for two has integrated seating under the top surface. with a swaying hinge, the people on either side become dependent on the other to stay seated as the movement of one directly effects the person on the opposite side. the object is a translation of the relationship between those seated at the dinner table into a physical manifestation.

The grid is one of the most important tools a designer has at his/her disposal. They’ve always been a difficult thing to explain to clients, though luckily, the results speak for themselves. Also luckily, the clean, organized look they impart is en vogue right now, which means better design is becoming “hip,” for lack of a less unsavory term.
