Huge thanks by the way to @awoodruff and the guys at Axis Map back then, whose tools I've used to make the maps. Always great to see tools survive that long.
One benefit of this hobby: you've always got a personal birthday gift at your fingertips.
My figure-ground posters are also available for download on my blog. Just €8 per city/poster. Get yours, print it, frame it, use it as a wallpaper, whatever you like. 🗺️
Just published the 3rd and final part of my series on figure-ground diagrams.
It's about organizing the project and the finishing touches to turn the maps into beautifully designed posters.
