Coin World Map contains approximately 3,000 coins and every continent is built out of its countries’ currencies. This map made me to think what else we can use to represent country characteristics? Faces of people? Landscape colors? Languages? I believe it’s much nicer to see image/collage-maps rather than colored thematic world maps which represents GDP or any other economic indicator.

Jennifer Maravillas is mapping the world. This is her Manhattan map. It’s nicely designed and color harmony looks so attractive. For more artworks you may visit her blog: frecklesofcolor.

Eric Fischer brings a new twitter mapping style and asks: “Is this the structure of New York City?” Data on the map is from the Twitter streaming API (10000 points, 30000 vectors). Base map from OpenStreetMap. You can see more cities in here.

Google maps in realistic map view. Such a simple idea makes a big impact on perception of the map. Liked it.

I’d like to have one of these mugs designed by zeroperzero but they are only in sale for japan. Pity. Color scheme and line styling is pretty neat.

One of the most beautiful satellite images of Istanbul. It is amazing to see how the metropolitan area is getting bigger each year. Pay attention to the ships on the european side, they are like covey. And it is somehow nice that there is this yellow/blue filter for urban and rural areas. via architizer.
