Title: Off the map: An exploration of emotive cartography
Abstract: As a graphic designer and design educator I have long had an appreciation of maps and map making. Like most readers, I’ve accepted maps as objective and unquestionable presenters of fact; a necessary belief if they are to have worth as pieces of visual communication. Yet, I’ve also appreciated them on a purely aesthetic level, responding to their beauty and to their ability to act as a gateway to exotic places and imagined worlds.
