The website started when the creator was taking a flight and chose to read the safety card from the pocket of the seat in front. He saw this image:
And wondered why there was a picture with no text that looked like a man eating licorice out of his life vest. He realised after a while that it was a tube to blow in and inflate the vest, but looked through other images an found many similarly confusing pictures.
After this he decided to make a website featuring many pictures similar to this one which he has captioned just as the in the image above.
While looking on this website I also found these instructional images which were released by the government when a nuclear terrorist attack looked imminent. It is interesting to see the exact same look and feel as the plane safety cards but in a completely unrelated context.
This could be really useful as a reference point when I start to experiment with my own versions of informational images.
