Stefanie Posavec

Posavec’s work illustrates that geography is not the only thing that can be represented through the process of mapping. 

Her three maps visualise the language structure used in Jack Kerouacs novel On the Road. She developed rules to represent the rhythm of Kerouacs language, the themes addressed within the book and the length of his sentences. Her work also shows how diverse the graphic response of mapping can be, her final designs having broken free from traditional mapping tools such as contours and grid lines.

Thanks to Britt for this link, it is making me think of other ways to visually demonstrate a map or information which could potentially could benefit the visually impaired.
