Future Maps Full-Color World Wall Map

Product Description

This full-color world wall map was designed by " Future Maps", a company that creates maps using cylindrical equal area projection, which means they faithfully represent the world’s countries, continents, seas & oceans in their true proportionate sizes. It achieves this by sacrificing shape, particularly in the areas closest to the poles. The result is an alternative & thought-provoking vision of our planet. When you look at a " Future Map" world wall map you’ll discover that Europe is much farther north than you imagined, you’ll realice how huge Brazil is & you will be amazed to see how close Iceland is to the North Pole. " Future Maps" are printed using a Lithographic printing process. This works like a mechanized version of traditional screen-printing. A plate is made for each color & then laid down individually. It gives you a stunning quality print with great definition & color impact. The beauty of Lithographic printing is that the process means that you can print with special colors not achievable by digital printing. Metallic inks are used for the seas. The map is printed onto the highest quality silk-coated paper, giving a low surface shine & luxurious finish. Once printed, a sealer is added to the surface of the paper. This helps protect the inks, allowing you to gently wipe it down with a damp cloth. To finish the map, an ultra violet gloss varnish is applied to the landmasses. This adds a contrast of textures to the surface of the print that light plays off to great effect. " Future Maps" World Wall Map
