In the “real world” a map is typically used to achieve a very practical goal more efficiently. But what happens when you enter a world in another realm? A world of pretend and imagination, devoid of the constraints of typical cartography? Well then you transcend the confines of practical maps and enter the delightful land of playful maps! Found in video games, board games, and your favorite fantasy novels, these playful maps allow us to tap into a unique form of spatial representation. Join us in this episode as Ross Thorn, Cartographer at Stamen Design, discusses the four pillars of playful map design and how we can apply those same principles to real world cartography to create more meaningful and more artful map experiences.
