Writing about featured projects for Mind the Map: Illustrated Maps and Cartopgraphy, published by Gestalten in September 2015 was a particular treat, as it brought my closer to my late father – who studied cartography in college and developed maps in both the army and for his own creative writing.
From the publisher’s website:
The book shows how they are being used to communicate what makes a region special, to put a specific location into context, to create moods, or to tell stories. Some maps help us to orient ourselves in a foreign country or an unfamiliar city, while others make pathways clear and logical that might otherwise seem confusing.
