The Monday Map: Useless Stereotypes

niemann sterotypes

Since I've moved to Berlin a few days ago, I figured we should celebrate with the artwork of a local artist. I looked in our archive of map and found this great map made by German illustrator Christoph Niemann. It was originally published on the NYT blog of Niemann called Abstract Sundays that we highly recommend for his brilliant illustrations.

As you can see, a big part of the map is focused on New York where Niemann has lived for 11 years before moving to Berlin. I love how he illustrated the gentrification process of Brooklyn with the "Yuppie" arrows. Always the same process everywhere. In Berlin, my guess is that the arrows would go from Neukölln to Kreuzberg to Friedrichshain to Mitte.

Europeans come across as arrogant, that is so true! Great idea and design.

Niemann is my fav illustrator of all time. Well, in the newspaper world anyways. Never miss a blog.

There is such a delicate balance between cute and harsh in this design. I think it's really great and fun to read all the preconceived notions. I love the "cha cha cha" and "ca-ching ca-ching" between the US and South America.

Good find, Alex! :)
