An Analysis of the Cartographic Language of European State Topographic Maps: Aesthetics, Style and Identity
The judges were extremely impressed with the amount of research and work that had been undertaken in the production of this entry. The result - an impressive volume including photographs and well reproduced illustrations as well as derived and original mapping.
The layout and presentation of the original maps has been well thought through. The colours were interesting and worked really well to ensure clarity. In addition to the maps the quantitive diagrams were also easy to interpret.
Although the original maps were the reason for this entry in to the Award, the Judges were drawn into the text to investigate subjects further. The content was found to be very readable and the layout and presentation of the whole work extremely attractive.
The Judges wish Alex the very best of luck as he pursues publication of his work.
