Book Description

"From the beginning of time, we've sought ways to categorise and catalogue the world around us, through maps and other geographic drawings. Now in today's modern and globalised world, we can focus our attention not only on simple cartography but rather in the development of the map as an essential symbol of design. The new book Geo Graphic celebrates geography and maps in all their creative uses and applications, featuring a wide array of design projects inspired by geographic elements. Using both traditional map imagery and creative new illustrations or interpretations of geography, these projects include everything from product packaging to furniture, all exploring a graphic representation of the geography that surrounds us "
