A good idea can save a species! What you’re looking at above is a remarkable replica of a sea turtle egg. Why would one need to make a replica of an egg? Well… Sea turtles are facing a massive poaching problem. Already having to deal with our polluted oceans, most sea turtle species are hunted for their shells, their meat, and the eggs (which are considered an aphrodisiac and a delicacy in some culture). The Investeggator (love the name!) is a sea turtle egg replica, designed to absolutely match its texture, feel, appearance, dimensions, and weight of real sea turtle eggs.

Daily Design Inspiration AoiroStudio Oct 30, 2017 Part of the Daily Design Inspiration series that started it all on Abduzeedo. This is where you'll find the most interesting things/finds/work curated by one of us to simply inspire your day. Furthermore, it's an opportunity to feature work from more designers, photographers, and artists in general that we haven't had the chance to write or feature about in the past. For this Daily we are selecting in branding, animation, art direction and more. Our goal is to diversify the types of work and in the future we can perhaps categorize them in different sections. For now we are going to stick to the simple format of images and links. I hope you enjoy and share with use via Twitter or our Tumblr . Until further notice, we'll display the images and the titles added to them. Because of little issues we had in the past, the images are still linked to their authors, we just won't mentioned who shared them like we used
