Future Maps, the company behind some visually stunning maps of the world, has just released a beautifully designed map of the British Isles. Using high quality paper printed with complimentary hues of Pantone yellows and greens, they really have pulled-off a wonderful product range. Would look at home in any graphic design office.

A mammoth web development task and beautiful images to boot!

Ever wondered what a truly global flag would look like? Nor me, but I came across a great little web site that has calculated the proportions of colour used on the flag for each country in the world. The image here is an amalgamation of all of the flags and the proportion of colours used in them. Try and guess the country before you click on a flag.
