I was in Urban Outfitters (my favorite!) in Charleston earlier this summer and found this among the many neat books they carry. We Feel Fine by Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar is "an almanac of human emotion." The book evaluates and defines a wide array of basic human emotions, including statistics and quotes from a variety of people.
Aside from the interesting subject matter and the truthful accounts from many people nationwide, I couldn't help but notice that I loved the way the book was designed with the nice layout of the pages:
I was even more excited to find the official website of this misson, wefeelfine.org. The site is interesting and definitely worth checking out. You can see more pages from the book (like the one shown above), and there's a crazy data collection engine that is fed hundreds of status updates from blogs and compiles them into an applet displaying feelings stated on the web within the last 10 minutes. It's interesting how design is used to organize it all in different formats. The gallery shows some of the most influential or popular statuses, paired with a photograph.
