I stumbled upon this kind of map in souvenir shop in New Zealand. I immediately fell in love with this idea! Because I love maps; and I love when things suddenly go upside down; and I love when familiar things get unexpected look! This artwork is designed with large printing in mind - it will look perfect as large poster! On smaller screens, all details might look too little though. I hope you will enjoy it! As always, created in Photoshop, with Wacom. Work duration: 12 hours precisely (non-stop :-).

More sizes, download for mobile phone, play puzzle, send e-card, buy posters, bugs and more:

Thanks!

Back in high school, a teacher of mine had a map of the world that was like this on her wall. Always nice to get a new perspective on things!

I made an account here so I could commend you on this beautiful work of art.

It is really nicely done. I love it how you kept with the older style of maps.

Now that is a creative idea!

Another thought: of course the problem is that it's more difficult to see continental drift. You would have to do some extra mental shifting I believe.
