It is always difficult to create something new and interesting from simple and ordinary things, but sometimes each of us can notice something unusual. Only now, not everyone comes up with such ideas … but designers do.
We have already talked about the alphabet made of food - it should be said that the site visitors liked the idea. Still, children can learn the alphabet in this way, and it is much more fun for parents to sit at the table. Melbourne-based designer Rhett Dashwood created the alphabet using a Google map. From October 2008 to April 2009, he searched the map for various landscapes and reliefs, lakes and rivers, fields and even buildings that look like letters of the alphabet. However, he only used a map of the state of Victoria, Australia, and not the whole world. And incredibly, all 26 letters were found by him. Indeed, what we just do not see here - and bridges, and seas, and stadiums, and several different buildings. Of course, the alphabet is not as delicious as the one made from food.
It would seem that the work has been done serious and difficult, because not all of us will be able to see the letter S in the squiggle of the river, and the letter E in the building, on the other hand, absolutely any person can do this! After all, the numbers have not yet been found;)
You can see each letter in detail on the author's website or find them yourself on Google.
