Cute Cartoony Cartography

Crumpled City Junior Maps Are Alive with Colorful Illustrations

— December 2, 2011 — World
Just because children can't appreciate the history and the politics of European countries it doesn't mean that traveling is any less exciting for them. These charming Palomar Crumpled City Junior maps have been created by Emanuele Pizzolorusso to cater especially to the younger crowd. The indestructible cartograms are all too perfect for kids because they can be packed up by scrunching and creasing the waterproof material in any which way to be carried in pockets and suitcases from city to city.

Less concerned with the accuracy of street contours and names and the conventional cartographic notations, Crumpled City Junior maps are colorful and congenial with cartoon illustrations that signify child-friendly landmarks, metropolitan sights and fun physical features. To match the adorable atlases of Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, London and New York, Alvvino created a collection of whimsically decorated packaging.
