So here we are in Twenty Ten, with the same blog setup. That’ll change…
Meanwhile, City Neighborhood Posters by Ork caught my eye because it looks familiar. If you read the Literary Birmingham part of the Unfinished Business post, you’ll see a clear typographical resemblance between Jenny Beorkrem’s work and Katy Parry’s.
Something’s happening here.
Is it a new trend in typocartography?
Or does it go back to previous decades?
Are these design ideas occurring separately and spontaneously, or is one influenced by another?
For me, I reckon that if Jenny can flog posters of US cities, then it can work here too.

In the comments under the CiB post you linked to there’s another link to Katie’s explanation on the Supercool blog - you spotted her inspiration. Not sure how far back things go from there but it seems a few US cities have been done now.
Ahhh, okay, and thanks for the pointer. I suppose I should link directly to her blog on that count. What’s more, Katy’s link to Strange Maps squares the circle in a nice way, since that’s where I’ve been going for some of the typocartography mentioned earlier.
