Beste Miray Dogan Creates One-of-a-Kind Envelopes

— February 8, 2010 — Art & Design
I’m definitely an advocate of Google Maps--no Mapquest for me--so when I stumbled upon Beste Miray Dogan’s unique Google idea, I couldn’t help but love it.

Finding a useful way to utilize the hi-res Google Maps print-outs, Beste Miray Dogan creates one-of-a-kind envelopes. It’s actually pretty neat and gives extra incentive to maintain the dying tradition of mailing letters.

With the hi-res Google Maps printouts, Beste Miray Dogan puts the originating address/area. Clever!
