These digitally printed, hand-drawn typographic maps of the city ($50 each at www.cartina.ca) are made by a local graphic designer with a love of lettering and a drive to know her hometown better.
The maps are parcelled into neighbourhoods and available in two sizes and three colours (blue, green and grey—how very Vancouver). They fit a standard IKEA frame and, best of all, can be custom-ordered to highlight your hood.
A great office-warming gift for your best friend’s startup, or for the directionally disinclined. —Adrienne Matei
