Maps

I saw these maps on a blog of one of my fellow MLA classmates and thought the were really interesting.  The inner landscape architect in me finds different ways of mapping and representing large scale landscapes on a 2D plane very fascinating.  In this case, only text is used by a graphic designer to create lines and textures to form the maps.

ASLA's blog, The Dirt, had a post about some more of these maps done by another graphic designer last week.  Paula Scher created a entire book of these mappings using mostly text to convey all types of mapping information.  Fascinating.
