The United States Department of Agriculture provides annual inventory data on livestock, crops, and various products. The tool is very ad hoc government-looking, but it seems to work well enough. Erin Davis made some fun maps that use the data at the county level to compare livestock populations to people populations. Davis compared animals individually, but the multivariate one that compares cows, chickens, and pigs is my favorite.

Across the grasslands of what was once the United States, Falanx (giant, dog-like rats) hunt Rabbucks (long-necked, deer-like descendents of the rabbit). On small islands in the Pacific, ground dwelling bats known as the Flooer feast on insects that mistake their large ears for petals.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

However, finding inspiration for your next website or app design might be a tough task. You need to consider plenty of ideas, many of which not be suitable for your business. As a result, you might be wasting productive time.

When we design products or websites for people like ourselves, there are many others who are, as a result, left out. From visually impaired users who rely on assistive technology, to people with a temporary injury such as a broken arm, tech users are forever diverse and beautifully unique. The products we design can, and should, reflect the extremely wide range of human experiences and needs.
