i just ran across the most amazing series of artwork and i feel compelled to share it with you. it looks at contemporary american culture through statistics. it made me think long and hard about our enormously wasteful and overconsumptive lifestyle here in america (among other pressing social issues). it also made me want to start offering only naked soaps exclusively. (i wonder how many soap bar wrappers are tossed in the trash every hour? the answer is probably mind boggling!) but 64% of our readers who took our survey last week said they like having the option of buying naked soaps or wrapped ones, so it looks like we won't be moving to strictly naked soaps anytime soon.
now here's the artwork. how does it inspire you?

it's all about the numbers

Hi Manor,
I love your soaps and the sense of art you're ading to them. I would like to give my kindest compliments to you.
Unfortunately every good on the market has to be labelled attractively to be sold. You do this in a perfect way. Especially your products and their labels have the best match. But without the wrap your soaps look still wonderful. My humble opinion is, if you have environmental sensitive customers you can give them the option to choose the naked one. It would be more attractive if naked bars are sold at a bit less price. Or your soap label can be in business card size. On the front your label may appear, at the back the other information such as ingredients appears. Soaps may be tied with natural ties. Some customers may want to keep this label as your business card. It would be good for your contacts, too. I wish you find the best solution.
With my kindest regards,
Mujde Guner, soapmaker from Istanbul, Turkey
Thanks Mujde. I appreciate your comments.
