Aaron Straup Cope's latest 20x200 edition, prettymaps (sfba) is right on-trend, according to Bay area mag 7x7. His map uses an aerial perspective that's intended to disorient viewers; he says of the project:
I'd like to generate map tiles that give you that same dizzy feeling you get when you look down at a city at night, from an airplane. We've spent so long fussing over the relentless details in cartography that we've sort of forgotten what things (should) look like at a distance.
And it's not just the folks over at 7x7 who are digging this bright map; our collectors are intrigued too! There are less than 25 8"x10" editions left, so pick one up today!
