Mapping techniques

Inverted images. A great technique for mapping the path taken. Beautiful image. Gives the correct information to the viewer. Simple overlapping line drawing. 





This project aims at mapping worldwide airline routes. Every single scheduled flight on any given day is represented by a fine line from its point of origin to the airport of destination, therefore forming a net of thousands of lines. Hubs like JFK, FRA or DXB turn into heavy condensed nodes where lines meet, while local routes are only slightly discernible. Every scheduled airline route has been extracted from booking and airline systems.
