About A Map Of The World
Product Description The world of contemporary mapmaking is brought up-to-date in this revised and expanded edition of a best-selling book. For centuries we have used the tools of cartography to represent both our immediate surroundings and the world at large―and to convey them to others. In our age of satellite navigation systems and Google Maps, personal interpretations of the geography around us are becoming even more relevant. A new generation of designers, illustrators, and mapmakers have been discovering their passion for various forms of illustrative cartography and A Map of the World is a compelling collection of their work. This updated edition contains even more examples of their output, ranging from detailed representations to personal, naive, and contemporary interpretations. From the Publisher What to expect • More than 200 maps from around the world • Maps for different purposes, from personal projects to tourist guides • Hand-drawn and digitally produced maps, as well as fun and serious ones • Inspiration for cartographers, illustrators, graphic designers, and people looking for new ways to promote their businesses About the Author Antonis Antoniou is fascinated by the ways in which material things can be brought to life through immaterial visualizations. He grew up on Cyprus, where he was interested in colors and forms from an early age. When not obsessively designing maps and lists, he makes his living as an architect.
