One of those I-wish-I’d-thought-of-this-ideas! Lot of work! Over about 7 months (when he had free time between design projects) designer Rhett Dashwood searched miles and miles of aerial imagery from Google Maps (primarily over his home region of Victoria, Australia, in order to piece together a complete, aerial alphabet. Buildings, rock formations, hedge rows, roadways, anything… nice one!

Hi, I love this! Makes me want to get on an airplane to see what’s below me, typographically speaking. I’m blogging about design from Northern California (redesignblog.wordpress.com) and a friend of mine in Australia sent me your link. Have you linked on Quipsologies yet?
keep at it! Kim

Hey Kim, thanks for your comment. I know, I’ll never look out the window of a plane the same way again! I’ll check out your blog now, and no, I don’t know of Quipsologies – I’ll check it out and link away!
All the best,
Jonathan
