From a typographer's point of view, this is an incredable image! Micro type being used as a replacement for lines to show roads?...genius! I'm suprised it hasn't been thought of before. A beautiful typographic way to represent a city.
I often wonder about how streets get named. Perhaps there is a Moon Street, Moon- I found a lilac street in San Francisco and that delighted me. It was a tiny street and not a lilac bush to be seen either. Which goes to show how strange it is. Perhaps the street was named for someone's lover, or maybe once upon a time a scraggly little lilac tree did grow there. Or perhaps the Victorian Houses on it were all purple at one time. Or lilac was the city manager's favorite color. You see- once you start this sort of speculation it never ends. there are usually logical reasons for numbers; but names are quite something else.
I actually have one of the 100 prints; any suggestions on how to frame the thing would be appreciated!
hey!!
yea this was amazing! it was for the london design festival, my city my london Exhibition. 16 of us exhibited work for the week, at city inn hotel.

Cool map, but I didn't understand nothing. I'm planning to have a vacation in London thorough easyclicktravel soon and I think it is not the map I will use there. Thanks for the post, anyway.
