Lacking in Style & Substance

I suppose they could have chosen something worse for Utah. But proud of my home state of NJ for public transit density! via NPR.

I love maps. This a fantastic one. via publicradiointernational: Missouri has never looked so good … Dave Imus’ map of the United States recently won the “Best of Show” at the annual competition of the Cartography and Geographic Information Society. Slate magazine calls Imus’ cartographic work of art, “The Greatest Paper Map Of The United States You’ll Ever See.” “What I did different than anybody else who ever made a map of the United States was that I brought into focus… the basic geography,” Imus told Here & Now’s Robin Young. “People that read this map or look at it on the wall can understand and appreciate more deeply the character of the United States… the lay of the land.” (Image: A map of Missouri.

Historical Maps: Man-Made Philadelphia, 1972

One last view of Philadelphia transit via these amazing diagrams from a 1972 book from the MIT Press, “Man-Made Philadelphia”, now sadly out of print. As well as the train network, there’s also buses, highways and the growth of the city. Definitely loving the early 70s mimimalism design vibe to these. Looks like they were all produced specially for the book.

I’m getting the biggest laugh out of these stereotype maps, in the style of the one above.

I like maps. I like typography. Put them together? Amazing. So far they seem to have Boston & Chicago available in poster form.  via FlowingData
