Snowhome - word map of the british isles

For the Word Map project, Snowhome collaborated with former employee,
friend and illustrator Alison Hardcastle . Her typographic skills have turned jumbled
lists of words into a lovingly hand drawn map which is as full of personality as the
landscape that it charts.

The word map is made using selected text that has a certain relationship to its particular geographic location.
The words used, range from regional specialities to historical fact, from local celebrities to indigenous species.
Stereotypes, clichés and typecasts help to build an archetypical map of text to chart the infinitely diverse character of the British Isles.

The map measures 70x100cm and comes as a rolled lithographic print that is printed on uncoated 200gsm, 100% recycled stock and packed in a labelled tube.
The print has been designed to fit standard ready made frames for your convenience.
