The perimeter, one of the largest highway rings in the world, encloses a petri dish of the most bustling southern American city. The design of this neighborhood map is meant to be both beautiful and useful.This map simplifies the highway system of our peachiest city, including all the favorite neighborhoods and landmarks. ABOUT THE IDEAInformation is more fun to read when it's beautiful. I've designed these charts and maps with hours of research, reassembling data into a brain-friendly aesthetic. I edit the information significantly, avoiding the "dazzle" effect which occurs when our eyes are battered with too much information. Letterpress makes it even more gorgeous. ABOUT LETTERPRESS PRINTINGLetterpress is a very complicated and expensive printing method that I am obsessed with. All letterpress prints are slammed with 600 pounds of pressure, creating a deep, tactile texture. The ink gets embedded into the thick soft paper so it won't fade within your lifetime.

There's a reason this craft endures and cannot be automated: It's skilled work that is best done face-to-face in physical space. See more framing ideas here. Copyright 2020 Archie's Press Show more
