If you think maps are a boring relic of a bygone age since the arrival of GPS, you obviously haven’t discovered the work of Herb Lester Associates. Which means you probably need to invest in the company’s latest work, The Raymond Chandler Map Of Los Angeles.
It’s another gem of a design, this time by Paul Rogers, with words by Kim Cooper. As you might have guessed it is a guide to Chandler’s LA, as well as the world of his alter-ego, private detective Philip Marlowe. So a mix of locations from the books, the films and Chandler’s personal life.
All of that on an A2 (folded to A6) map, which is litho-printed in England on 100 per cent recycled paper. If you want one, it’s new on, retailing for just £4 — via Retro To Go

My parents perform this art (Ebru in Turkish, Paper Marbling in English) and the footage was shot for a promo piece I was working on back then and my dad asked me to put a video together for him. This is what came out of that.
For those who is wondering how it’s done I’d recommend googling Paper Marbling
there is plenty of info out there

Seeing these illustrations as movie posters, which use visual imagery to suggest, insinuate, and convey the essence
of the film, each illustration reflects the work and the architect’s aesthetic overall — via ArchDaily
