The Crossover

This lovely rocket UI is a lesson in innovating proportions. I hope the car designers out there are paying special attention. Sure, a couple buttons and a screen could look like this, but that would be boring and expected. I love how the designer oversized the head to communicate powerful and elegance. If this were a car, it would be a student concept for a Bugatti. To be really disruptive, he's given this interface a huge, three testicled ballsack, a detail that reinforces the power-and-elegance design theme. The designer must be a real contemporary; his image board no doubt included by The Blob.

Here's car styling lesson #2 for the day. You might think the term Crossover is just marketing's innovative new name for SUV, but the traditional definition is a vehicle that combines the features and proportions of two cars to make a brand new one with new advantages. The red rocket pictured here is another kind of crossover. Borrowing features from the male penis and the archetypical butt plug, this is a whole new class of anthropomorphism. It has the thrust you want combined with the smooth ride you need.

Jimmy - keep spotting dicks but don't get your dick spotted. Thanks for the pic!

Rhymes with Venus

Gillette's designers are clever guys. First, they innovated the shit out of the razor business by adding blades over and over. More recently, they made a razor with floppy vagina lips so that women would know to buy it. If you're like me, you're wondering how the razor category is going to innovate next.

As we all know, ladies love the cock. And so Gillette exploits this basic female desire by making their package look like a package. Someone give Gillette's cognitive psychologists a bonus, this direction was no doubt ballsy but the numbers don't lie. Cleverly inverted, the blister pack looks remarkably like the complete phallic archetype - balls, shaft, head. Good design occurs when all extraneous details have been removed, and they nailed with this one on the head.

Thanks for the pics, Jimmy!
