Map London in type workshop with Jo

Maps are a vital part of graphic communication. Thy are used in a variety of ways to communicate this importance of location context. Maps are being used more and more as graphic design or illustrative projects, where people are taking the traditional skills as a cartographer to a more visual level. looking at the importance of but also looking at how to produce them as a style.

The idea of this workshop was to create an A5 map of 1 area of London using type. Each one of us created different part of London using only red, Helvetica font and type elements. By the end of the session we pasted them up and viewed as one.


I was amazed when I saw the map. Interesting, cool piece of work and still it did not loose any information's as a map.
