An insane user-submitted addition to Sagmeister's "Thing's I Have Learned In My Life So Far" project. "Don't Judge People By Their Appearances" is an organic typography project by designer Peter Chmela; head on to Sagmeister's site for the rest of the set... Also, am I the only one who finds that hair follicle image a little unsettling?

Just picked this up the other day. The L.A. Earthquake Sourcebook is an earthquake preparedness guide designed by Stefan Sagmeister with L.A.'s own Art Center College of Design.

Granted this thing is pretty useless if you aren't living in a high earthquake-risk zone (and even then its effectiveness has been questioned by critics), the collection of Sagmeister's clever, tongue-in-cheek visuals makes it well worth the price or at the very least a thorough flip-through. Now let's all hope that Sagmeister's next project is a visual interpretation of Max Brook's Zombie Survival Guide.
