We abide religiously by number 3 and thus feel the need to post it here:

Unlike advertising agencies, we are not in the business of selling. We love our work and we love showing off the diversity of work we’ve done (please ask to see our portfolio!) but that’s because every project is crafted with thought and research, and with respect for our clients. We put all our resources into every client that engages us because we don’t need to save our best ideas to sell ourselves to potential new clients.

I remember I found it surprising that they kind of competed about who had the best metro line close to his or her place. As a tourist I usually took the metro on non-rush hours so I didn’t see the point in that. Now I understand:

Tokyo metro can get veery crowded in rush hours and photographer Michael Wolf documented it in a funny/sad series of pictures of people getting steamed and compressed at the same time.

The topic is multidimensional and that makes it interesting for visual representations. Some of its facets:

  • type of effect (euphoria, relax, allucinations…)
  • level of addiction provoked (very, little, extreme…)
  • legal consequences of consuming/dealing (jail, misdeameanor…)
  • secondary effects (nausea, sleep, appetite)
    price

  • social acceptance
  • context of consumption (marginal, social, individual…)

And here are the charts, numbered for your convenience when commenting:

5

Am I missing any classic that should be on this collection?

My favorite is #1 for obvious reasons. Which one is yours, you little druggies?

We started out by searching ‘sex‘ (of course) and discover that Vietnam and Eritrea are the countries most obsessed about it. ‘Free sex’ is the most sex-related search, and here we stopped our investigation.

We went on searching for terms that make a real impact in our personal lives: zombies vs vampires, unicycle vs spacecraft, palin vs obama, etc. We wrapped it up with a name search, and finally… Maria wins! (thanks to Brazil, wtf).

We end up searching war vs love, and we find out our next project, Okamore, will be successful :)

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

There are industrial designers who look at an object and they modify it to improve its features in a specific circumstance. They designed the folding chairs, the anglepoise lamp and the unfolding package for the butter.

There are other designers who look at an object and they modify it with the purpose of worsen its features for any circumstance. They designed the three leg stools, the square-shaped glasses and the sinks with no place for leaving the soap.
