Innovative Way Of Promoting The Library.

If one asks you how to promote the library by itself, what would you suggest? Though there are various ways of doing it, but if you ask the residents of Kansas City the answer could be quite interesting. They have their own innovative way of promoting their libraries. The residents of Kansas City were asked to nominate influential books that represented their town, and huge forms of the winning selections were then used as the exterior of the library's parking garage.

Cardiff Public Library:
Here we have another one: Cardiff Public Library, which differs when it comes to the walls around a library. It's supposed to be only a temporary feature at Cardiff Library until the new building is completed. But this looks much better than the usual traditional front of the building and if we were given a choice then this could have been a permanent feature.

Creative and Cool Bus Stops – Part 2.

Most of the bus stops are plain without any creativity, but what we have here isn't one of the regular ones. Each of the bus stops that we have here are unique in its own way.

Air Conditioned Bus Stop.

This one is probably the most comfortable and advanced bus stops of our post, fully enclosed with air conditioning. This bus stop stands, just next to Burj al Arab and Wild Wadi (water theme park). "As many as 47 of the 1,000 planned air-conditioned bus stops were opened in the month of April, 2008 in different parts of the city." Conti……………..

Bus Stop Near Corinth Canal, Greece:

Someone had obviously felt that seats were needed and wisely didn't expect the authorities to do anything about it; instead, they brought some of their own old chairs.

These are from the conceptual project "The Bus Stops Here" by Fiori, a Portland based design and research firm. Each bus stop concept is a focused look at a specific issue.

Awesome Interactive Drawings.

Here are a few beautiful masterpieces created with only a pencil or a paintbrush. Though its not a secret that the artists use Photoshop to make these paintings more realistic and impressive, but still the results are very impressive. And when one talks of optical illusion art, you cant miss M. C. Escher, who has inspired the likes of many artists with his optical illusion art. Well known examples of his work includes Drawing Hands - 1948 (the last image of this post), a work in which two hands are shown, each drawing the other.
