We’re pleased to announce our second collaboration with Jen Bekman’s 20×200, releasing gorgeous prints of New York City today, and London shortly. There will be more cities coming over the next few months, so please stay tuned! It was a nice sidestep to work with the maps at high resolution, and on paper. We also...

Eric gave a general overview of the changes we rolled out for Toner v2 in this post and this post. In my post I dig into the technical details. But first, pictures! Visual changelog for Toner 2012: Toner v2 (2012 and 2011) uses High Road for more sophisticated roads and tucks San Francisco’s punky park...

We’ve got some new additions to Toner, the black and white style that Geraldine started and that Nathaniel and Mike have been gradually improving this year. There are some fairly significant changes to the cartography stack all the way through, which you can read about in detail at the project’s visual changelog on GitHub. And...

The first thing I thought after we hung a copy of London’s Kerning, a printed map showing only the street names in London, in the studio, was: I want one of those for the rest of the world. “How hard can it be to just(people here love that) show the streets?” As part of the...

Earlier this year we worked with Warner Bros. to create an interactive map called Quarantine Your City on which fans of the latest Oren Peli thriller, Chernobyl Diaries, could vote to see a special screening in their city. The plot follows a group of modern-day American tourists on an “adventure tour” of Pripyat, the site...

A couple of weeks ago, the video Clouds premiered at the Wired Frames exhibit at Eyebeam in NYC. I had the good fortune of being involved in this project, which was led by documentary filmmaker Jonathan Minard and creative coder James George. The three of us met at the Art&&Code conference in Pittsburgh, in October...

We’ve been working on a travel planner for the Weather Channel that tells you a bit more than just how long it’ll take to get from point A to point B. This one predicts what the weather’s going to be like along your drive,when you get there. So let’s say you’re driving from New York...

We’ve just rolled out a new way for you to make atlases of the world, called Field Papers and made with our friends at Caerus Associates. Field Papers allows you to print a multipage paper atlas of anywhere in the world and take it outside, offline, into the field. You can scribble on it, add...

I still remember those long lost days when an “interactive website” meant a site that had a mouseover effect on the navigation bar. How far we’ve come. Working with the fantastic, bold branding, we created a Twitter Tracker for Logo TV’s 2012 NewNowNext Awards that aired on April 6. The animations on the site are...
