Maps on LCD displays are impoverished, low resolution, glowing in harsh frequencies that tire the eyes. The best way to experience maps is at scale, an arresting presentation that fills your vision while inviting a closer look, enhanced by gentle color-filtered LEDs that welcome instead of fatigue.
I've made maps for National Geographic, Bloomberg Philanthropies and other big orgs, at scales ranging from a magazine page to an entire wall. I'm interested in combining rich, dense cartography with rich, dense media: film, wood, embroidery, metal.
Working together looks like:
1) Figure your project’s size, map style, map colors, geographies to be depicted and frame finishes.
2) You receive draft maps and renders.
3) When you approve the design, 4-8 weeks later your installer receives well-packed maps, hanging cleats and power supplies.

"Get lost in ultra-detailed backlit installation maps."
I'm Evan Applegate and I create spectacular wall maps in my Valley studio: 3,600 DPI custom cartography backlit in lamplight spectra, all the detail of a paper map with an inviting glow.Maps on LCD displays are impoverished, low resolution, glowing in harsh frequencies that tire the eyes.
