While doing reading from the visual research book assigned for class, I realized that there is a chapter mapping information. The map I like most from this section is a combination of a traditional map grid with text overlain instead. I like the idea of combining this typography with a map in a 3-D way. Perhaps layering a bunch of different maps over one another so that the viewer can look down through all of them (if they were on a transparent material).

I think this map is successful becuase it is using a strong grid method and the text is ordered and restrained from becoming too dominant or out of order...
Doing further reading on the web on information mapping...I came across some graphic design guidelines which I found useful...also got me thinking about using coordinates to map infromation or creating an individualized system with boundaries I would have to follow. I don't want to put too many constraints yet, this early...but definately something to think about.
