(rt) Illustration: Filter Heroes, puke-inducing logos, & more

[Quick reminder: The "(rt)" in the post headline signifies that I've previously posted these links on my Twitter account.]

• Infographics:
  • Venn diagram of mythical creatures. Pretty excellent. [Via]
  • Great infographic: Caffeine vs. calories. [Via]
• Check out the Photoshop Filter Heroes t-shirt from our pals at Chopping Block.
• Eye-popping monstrous illustrated goodness from Niark1. Lots more to like at Niark1.com.
• Design Won’t Save the World. See other words of wisdom for budding designers:
• Layers for iPhone does photo compositing + natural media & exports PSDs (!).
• Awfulness:
  • Ouch: YourLogoMakesMeBarf.com. (But the “Johnston County Cornhole” does richly deserve it.)
  • Hard-core awesome Web design: Havenworks and uh, this thing. (“How can you even look at that without having a seizure?,” asks my wife.) [Via Sam Potts]
