Google Thinks...

I worked on some images for 'Think Quarterly' a new publication by Google that looks at developments in communications. The images weren't used in the end, but there we go...  I was quite pleased with this one anyway.



Proffessor Hickmann's Universal-Atlas 1921

I found a copy of Proffessor Hickmann's Universal-Atlas in Rochester. There are some really great maps as well as some superb statistical drawings like this one. Much better than pie-charts!
