by there own words (I know this because I’m copy and pasting it from here) is:”Ito! is a UK registered company providing web-based mapping, movies and data management services for the transport professional and for the transport user.”Which is all great, but it doesn’t sounds like the type of thing that allows them to get away with lovely lovely images like this …I can totally recommend going to have a look at pages 9 and 10 of their gallery.

They say they used 30 countries, but I’m not quite sure why you’d only use 30 when 40 are available, perhaps there was only 30 at the time.*and when I say ‘created’ I really mean ‘obviously went through a lot of sweat and hard work’ to come up with a great poster. You should really go to the site and see the other images they have of it.The UK as always seems to have been obsessed with Big Brother, see how useful this is!For some unspecified reason, a current interest of mine is this world of “information aesthetics” which this seems to fall into amazingly well and also is why I totally found this link [via: information aesthetics].

Tom and Mike release Oakland Crimespotting, the rather fancy Virtual Earth map/data/visualising thing that they (Stamen) do so well.What you cant see here is all the useful fade and highlighting effects that take place as you move your cursor around, giving you handy information…. When we’ve all had enough experience with mapping data, which has already been going on forever, then we may know how to ask smarter questions.Example: A few years ago, I may not have thought to ask if the house I was about to buy was on a flood plane.

Photo by karakolaTopoware is a tableware collection that questions the landscape of dining. Taking inspiration from the recent popularity of geography as a media of communication (with Google maps) and more specifically with topographic maps, which define heights of a landscape two dimensionally, Topoware in turn, “outlines” the dining experience.
