Inspired by scientific overviews and taxonomy sketches, I created these graphics. 16 technicolor cigarette-lighting-in-a-car-scenes were studied to make the following overviews: 1) composition and position of cigarette 2) 100 most common colours 3) sort/make of cigarette and lighter 4) model and colour of car
