SkyMall Demographic Data Visualizations
No matter how many times I fly, I always, always pick up the latest issue of SkyMall and browse through all the crap you can buy at 35,000 feet. I've never bought anything, nor do I have any intention of ever doing so, yet I still glance through each and every page, noting all the useless stuff available for purchase. It's a great way to pass the time.My favorite product is the lovely Travel Pillow (pictured), designed to make your next flight both comfortable and uniquely bizarre for fellow passengers. "What the hell is that thing attached to his face?" they'll say. "I don't know, honey, but it sure looks stupid!"
This guy took a different approach to using the SkyMall catalogue to pass the time. Instead of browsing through page after page of pointless products, he took the time to cut out every single face and arrange them into a "data visualizations of SkyMall demographics." Men vs. Women? Black vs. White? Blonde vs. Brunette? It's all there.
