no need a compass nor protractor, no need to visit every landscape objects to measure…but all objects must be visible from a distance

Only needs: pencil, ruller, paper to draw line / map…and only needs 1 known distance, the rest can be calculated by scale..

I’m fascinated by this article !! I’m keen on this because i’m actually working on a mapping typography called MAPDINGS, which principle is exactly the same !
You should be interested by my project :

http://www.mapdings.com

Mapdings font is available for free download, so send me back your creations !

I’m sorry the website is still in french, but you should be able to understand just by visiting the site, watching pictures, and testing my type !

thanks.

Al’
