I’ve been pretty excited that Apartment Therapy finally launched a D.C. site recently, no longer resigning the D.C. content to live on New York’s site (I mean really, how embarrassing!). And though I haven’t been overly enthused by the content so far, I’m totally smitten with this DIY map project.
The creator found a panoramic photo of D.C. in the 1920s—like the type I’m always ogling at flea markets and festivals—on DCVote.org, then downloaded it into Photoshop, sliced the image into nine sections, and imported those into iPhoto. (Read the rest of how he did it over Apartment Therapy.) Unfortunately, apparently the project cost him an absurd $450, but I’m pretty sure it’s totally possible to accomplish for much, much cheaper with a little DIY know-how. If I ever get my to-do list under control and actually attempt this, I’ll let you know how it goes.
I love this segmented photo. And I share your love of Apartment Therapy and the fact that it’s also (finally) made it to Boston (and just wrote about it today too…weird). Hello, good design.
That is pretty rad. You could try something like rasterbator maybe (spelling?) It’s a program that turns big images into 8.5 x 11 size sheets, so you can print them out and stick them together.
A huge alternative financing pool for poor entrepreneurs. ,
Still other people with mental health problems do not know where to get help or how. ,
