An idea worth spreading
“For a successful public transport map, we should not stick to accurate representation, but design them in the way our brains work.”
The TED story
In Sept. 2012 I gave a talk at TEDx Dublin about how our brains make sense of maps. TED is a great platform for exchanging ideas and connecting to other interesting people.
