Wallpaper Freebie: Ireland Map

Feb 24, 2009 by Jennifer Farley    6 Comments    Posted under: Blog, Design Stuff!

This wallpaper started life as a poster for my niece’s school but turned into something a little bit different. Am completely ashamed at how vague I was about the counties in the midlands – I actually live in Westmeath myself, but somewhere between primary school geography and now, they all turned into one county – “Rosleitford”. Anyhoo, this map is now available to download as a wallpaper. It looks better in the larger sizes because you can see the textures on the text and the counties.

The links below will open up the wallpapers, and from there you can right click and save.

  I really like this map. It would be interesting to see if the catchy typographic treatment makes it easier for kids to learn about the different counties.

  Hi Tracey, thanks.

  Yeah, I was wondering myself because some of the letters of the counties are partially obscured by lakes or clipped at the county borders, so I think you’d need to be a little bit familiar to begin with.

  Might take on a world map next!

  Great wall paper. The textures are wonderful. I don’t mind the clipped letters, to paraphrase David Carson, don’t confuse legibility with communication. Thanks for sharing.
