Paris versus New York is a friendly visual match between those two cities, as seen by a Parisian-based-and-lover on New York : details, cliches and contradictions

Typographic maps

Axis Maps just released their mapping / art project Typographic Maps. These unique maps accurately depict the streets and highways, parks, neighborhoods, coastlines, and physical features of the city using nothing but type. Only by manually weaving together thousands upon thousands of carefully placed words does the full picture of the city emerge. Every single piece of type was manually placed, a process that took hundreds of hours to complete for each map.

Take a look at their blog for more on how these maps were made.

Creative Chocolate

A set of creative chocolates entitled Crave Sydney 2009.

This set was created in 3DS Max and Vray Australia designer Rachael Dunk. Each chocolate represents a different event that took place around Sydney for October 2009.

Its still in the concept phase for now. Hope it won't be too long before they actually start producing.
Would be cool to see it applied to different countries/cities.
