Craig’s design decision to size the roads according to their width and likely traffic volumes produces a map whose appearance also references the small blood vessels that feed into larger ones to bring life to the body. Craig Taylor’s monochrome animated map effectively and elegantly captures this rhythm. The movement of people to and from work, often from the hinterlands to the city centre, is a mobility pattern that recurs insistently, and this movement of people, like the movement of blood through the human body, breathes life and energy into city centres. Commuting, often undertaken by driving a car, is one of the strongest rhythms in modern, dynamic cities. Monochrome Drive Time Mountains was one of my favourite submissions to the Monochrome Mapping competition. With its attractive features, deliberate coverage and functional design, this map indeed inspires one to adventure into the nature, both with excitement and with safety of knowing where you are, and what is ahead!Ĭommentary by Amy Griffin, competition judge The use of multiple shades mark what we need to know about the terrain, and introduces simplicity which gives a satisfyingly tidy feel to it yet still inspiring elegance. The fact that it is monochrome seems entirely appropriate as we are missing no information that is relevant to the imagined journey and no doubt its monochrome-ness adds to its beauty.
