The design of the map reminded me of the work of Edward Tufte ("The Visual Display of Quantitative Information," etc.). E.g.:

(There's closer examples in his book, but this was the best one on the website.)
Of course they're both coming from a "classic" viewpoint, so there's probably no direct connection. But I'll bet the designer has at least read the book.
I'm still waiting for my phone call. The message was very professional. I'm sure I'll get to the bottom of this soon.
But you're right. It does look like Tufte's work. Perhaps it's a student project.
that is awesome
she must be an artist
i love the idea of finding art in unusual places
1. Yep, I've read the Tufte book. The map in the brochure was actually based on a 19th century atlas I picked up at a flea market.
2. I apologize for not returning your phonecall.
3. Yes, student project.
4. I'm glad you like it.
PS I assume the title of the post is a reference to the Museum of Jurassic Technology in LA. I definitely had that place in mind when I was working on the New Ephemera brocure.
Nicely done. Do you have a website? Oh, wait, I see it. Graphomanic.net. Cool.
yes, but please note that the website is woefully out of date. recent information is not to be found.
