http://wasabijane.com Being the intellectual and theological musings of a rogue rhetorician Wed, 14 Jul 2010 23:40:30 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 http://wasabijane.com/2008/google-maps-got-nothin-on-this/ http://wasabijane.com/2008/google-maps-got-nothin-on-this/#comments Fri, 06 Jun 2008 04:46:53 +0000 Lisa http://wasabijane.com/2008/google-maps-got-nothin-on-this/ Sally pointed out this blog, which features strange maps and their function. I must admit I find it fascinating. This map, in particular, is a startling reminder that reality differs greatly from our perceptions thereof; this map, on the other hand, fills me with empathy for the designers. I’m actually working on a similar map for a conference program at the moment, so I can honestly say, given the design problem (too much text, too little room), the designers could have done worse.
