I'm not entirely sure what axismaps.com does but it sure seems to involve a lot of pretty maps. This caught my attention when pointed out to me by OSM contributor RichardF.
<blockquote>These unique maps of Chicago and Boston accurately depict the streets and highways, parks, neighborhoods, coastlines, and physical features of the city using nothing but type. Only by manually weaving together thousands upon thousands of carefully placed words does the full picture of the city emerge. Prints are available.</blockquote> So, Boston and Chicago, but I'm told that San Francisco, New York and Washington are in progress, too. See more pretty maps and wonderful photography of maps on their web site. http://www.axismaps.com/typographic.php They have a blog entry describing the process of creating these maps, as well. http://www.axismaps.com/blog/2010/09/typographic-map-posters/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
