The Body Print
The human body: Is there any greater piece of natural architecture? Maybe I'm biased. This map shows some of the more notable parts of the body and how they interact.
An 8.5x11 Letterpress Print designed by Archie Archambault of Archies Prints.
ABOUT THE IDEA
So why all the circles? Research indicates that GPS's are hindering our ability to create mental maps of our surroundings. The maps aim to install a "Map from the Mind" for each city, simplifying structures and districts in the simplest terms. Each design is taken as a new challenge, using the knowledge of locals to create a map that is both beautiful and useful.
ABOUT LETTERPRESS PRINTING
Letterpress is a very complicated and expensive printing method. All Letterpress 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.
