# Earthly Map Creatures Images Created From Geographic Shapes Without Touching Scale By Cowbag | Published 2009-02-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earthly-creatures-images-created-from-the-worlds-shape-without-touching-sca References: [popgive](http://www.popgive.com/2009/02/animals-assembled-out-of-continents-of.html) How bored must someone have been to think up this brilliant idea? A creative artist moved the earth’s continents around and was able to discover images you can make *without* touching the scale of the land. Why was this not part of [school geography lessons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geolearn)? I demand to know! [Animals created](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog) from the [global map](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timemap) include rabbits, rats, horses and a bull. The images themselves are really strong, and at first glance you may not notice the exceptionally clever construction. Sadly, there are no details available about the artist yet - I suspect some kind of ad creative is involved somewhere. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Geographic Art:** Creating art using geographic shapes without altering their scale. - **Unconventional Creativity:** Using unconventional methods to create unique art pieces. - **Unseen Connections:** Discovering hidden connections between seemingly unrelated things through creative exploration. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** This trend opens up new opportunities for artists and designers to explore new mediums and techniques. - **Advertising and Marketing:** This trend could inspire and influence advertisers to create unique and memorable ads that stand out. - **Education:** This trend could be used in geography classes to teach students about the art and creativity that can stem from the subject. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [To-Scale Interactive Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-size-of-countries.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Global Location Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earthguessr.md) - [Geometric Wooden Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aleph-geddis.md) - [Geography Guessing Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/topoguesser.md) - [Global Pixel Canvas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wplace.md) - [AI-Generated Animal Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-generator.md) - [Geographic Guessing Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/countryguessr.md) - [Folk Creature Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog.md)
