3D Illusion To Slow Down Traffic
Preventable, BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation, and the District of West Vancouver have launched a 3D illusion geared to make drivers slow down at high-risk intersections.
An optical illusion of a little girl chasing a ball has been installed.
The 3D illusion rises up gradually from about 100 feet away and fades away by the time a driver approaches.
Warning signs leading up to the illusion were installed to prepare drivers.
The goal is to draw attention to the risk of children running onto the road.

Tat-ris: Tetris Inspired Furniture
Tat-ris by Singaporean industrial designer Gaenkoh is an interactive modular seating design. Figure what kind of seating you're in the mood for and build it yourself!
This must be especially fun for kids. It is important to mention that the main aim of this project was to encourage the active behaviour of children. It focuses on how kids can grow insight into the linguistic and conceptual structures and, in turn, looks at the influence this has on their pattern of learning and reasoning.

All My Friends Are Dead
A dark-witted book explores the feelings of loss and loneliness with ironic levity
A children's book for adults, "All My Friends Are Dead" cleverly illustrates the inevitable sadness we all will face—whether you're a tree, sock, pirate, cassette tape or other—when our friends cease to exist.
From the snowman whose friends all melt away to the house plant whose friends are slowly killed by humans, the book uses dark humor to shed light on the ubiquitous feeling of loneliness.
Written by actor Avery Monsen and journalist Jory John, "All My Friends Are Dead" sells online from Chronicle Books (where you can check out the lighthearted video short) or at Urban Outfitters stores for $10.
