A little global perspective
Design / Aug. 15, 2008



An illustration about preserving some modern-era buildings.

Cover of the Summer 2008 issue of On Site. A faux tilt-shift image of the National Mall with cheeky (but common) complaints about the conditional and infrastructure (or lack there off.)

This spread was an tribute to our now dead big brother, Conde Nast Portfolio — it’s a spitting image of a graphic they did on Nasa’s budget. While Portfolio did outer space, we did local commercial real estate space .

I couldn’t find a map with the scale and detail level I wanted for this graphic, so I ended up drawing the whole thing myself. What are Saturdays for, no?

I’m totally to blame for the dime thing, but I’m not at all sorry. I’m still amused by the idea of Dwight Schar’s annual compensation in dimes spanning the entire globe.


I have four words for you: Map in a fireball!
