30 Smashed, Broken & Shattered Innovations

From Broken Heart Bling to Well-Timed Smashtography

This slideshow of smashed, broken and shattered innovations is not for the fragile at heart. From vending machines that let you vent your anger in a passive-aggressive fashion to pre-broken ceramics, these innovations are smashing, to say the least.

My favorite are the collections of jewelry aimed towards brokenhearted individuals. What better way to heal than to wear your heart on your sleeve?

Implications - The capture of motion is captivating to many people. By being able to switch up typical photographic scenery artists can capture new media attention. All industries can benefit by looking for new ways to display products and services so that consumers do not tire of mundane presentations.
