PHILOSOPHY

At 
AS THE CROW FLIES CARTOGRAPHY
we strive to create maps that are:

ARTISTICALLY ENGAGING
SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTIVE
EARTH FRIENDLY

ARTISICALLY ENGAGING. Our goal is to catch the attention of your intended audience with well balanced, attractive design. Catching attention is a critical first step, but once the viewer has turned their focus to the map, there must be a clear and compelling message for them to read.  We achieve this clarity by distilling often complicated information into an easily understood graphic language, allowing the viewer to quickly recognize the map’s story.

SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTIVE and EARTH FRIENDLY. This means working on projects which build, rather than diminish our human and ecological communities. We believe that maps are an ideal tool to help people understand the complex relationship we have with our human and natural communities, and that better understanding breeds better relationships between people and place.
