'This is the latest map in my "Typography of Place" series... a map of the cities and towns that lie along the Mississippi River. The last two maps I did in this series (Silk Road and the Aleutian Islands) were very horizontal. So I wanted to try one with a vertical format. One of the things I am trying to achieve in these maps is to have the words that make up the map read as a sort of free-form poem. In this one, I think that comes across particularly strong since you can "read" it from the river's source in the top left to the mouth in the bottom right.' ...more linked above i love this. real triumph to concrete poetry. mallarme or apollinaire would really applaud this clean, informative design/map. i agree it works well as a free form poem, (as a western reading, its in english) top left to bottom right with how its composed. i love using type to represent space. type as image. still a sketch... looks good. found here: http://flickr.com/photos/amapple/2546733739/in/set-72157602275753358/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Vous avez reçu ce message, car vous êtes abonné au groupe Groupe "Cartographie d'informations" de Google Groupes.
