# Colortastic Literal Maps The 'One Planet Version 3' by Harajukumatt is a Treat for the Eyes By Luisa Amanda Gomes | Published 2010-04-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-planet-map-by-harajukumatt References: [bookofjoe](http://www.bookofjoe.com/2010/04/one-planet.html) & [deviantart](http://www.deviantart.com/print/11237923/) The One Planet Map by Harajukumatt is a work of art that I find fascinating. Although I'm not the biggest fan of geography, there's something about this map that I find intriguing. Using the names of countries and fantastic use of [bright colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stratosplash), Harajukumatt has created a simplistic map that is easy to follow. However, I don't think this map will be of any use to you on [road trips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-path). **Implications** - Perhaps the most stunning feature of this [typographic map](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vector-maps) is the fact that the font sizes reflect the actual spacial geography of each nation. Look at Russia and Canada dominating the northern territories. Now if I can only find the smallest nation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Typographic Maps:** Opportunity for designers to create visually appealing and informative maps using typography and vibrant colors. - **Geographical Visualization:** Potential for innovative ways to represent geography and spatial data, creating engaging and interactive user experiences. - **Data-driven Design:** Chance to use data to inform design decisions, creating maps that accurately represent the size and scale of different regions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Design:** Designers can explore new ways to create maps that are both aesthetically pleasing and informative. - **Education:** Educational institutions can utilize typographic maps to make learning about geography more engaging and interactive. - **Tourism:** Tourism agencies can leverage geographical visualization to create visually captivating maps that attract and inform travelers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [To-Scale Interactive Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-size-of-countries.md) - [Engaging Travel Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-maps.md) - [AI-Powered Global Facts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geofacts.md) - [Global Pixel Canvas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wplace.md) - [Interactive Mapping Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-map.md) - [Geographic Guessing Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/countryguessr.md) - [Map-Inspired Fleece Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xplorer-maps.md) - [Photo-Sharing Memory Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memorymaps.md) - [Laser-Cut Urban Artistry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-cut-city-maps.md)
