Designer Miles Donovan may have been dreaming of the future in his latest work that depicts warning signs for [sci-fi technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unnatural-history-museum-of-singapore).

The Science Fiction Danger Awareness Posters are a humorous and captivating twist on the posters normally seen for many of the machines and products in use today. Miles Donovan uses these [warning signals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burnable-billboard) to help individuals using objects like ray guns and any other [futuristic gadget](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuture-wrist-tech) avoid death.

**Implications** - Often, many products can cause harm to its users if not operated properly. A simple way for businesses to avoid injuring their clients is by depicting safety instructions or warnings in vibrant and easily noticeable ways.
