The last adventurers


»One of the last adventurers of our time is the motorcycle driver. While others are leisurely traveling in comfortable cars, he braces himself against the wind with tingling senses and experiences the soaring feeling of speed and perfect control over his machine while seeing all the beauty of nature. BMW—trade mark of world champions.«

From the 1965 BMW motorcycles catalog. Set in Akzidenz Grotesk.

Human development index

every couple of years, the UN try to assess how “developed” all earth’s countries are. the result is the human development index. the factors going into it are income per capita, life expectancy and literacy. this is the result:

green => high, red => low, dark colors are the extremes.

gapminder has some excellent interactive visualizations of this data, like this one (static image, click to be taken there):
