When I started creative maps, I discussed with my colleague it would be good
to show learners what poetry there was about their area to try and get them
engaged with a range of creative inspiration and outlets. Behold I came across
this:
Poetry has been geographically mapped with Poetry Atlas, not as clean and
clear as the well presented HistoryView (Pin) those quill markers are just a bit
too overpowering. But the info windows etc are equally great and like history
pin it has accumulated quite a few writings about areas. They've even made a layar app or AR reality, as I would love to have ;o). They also to their credit make it really easy to explore their site searching location, browsing poems/ poets. Very Good.

Let the words of inspiration flow through your mind about your places, I
experimented with this.

In reference to aesthetics and the data functionality Bradford Paley created Text Arc (fig 95) a system for visualising literary texts states ‘beauty [form, aesthetics] is neither an alternative to function, nor a bolt-on extra. The two bear a more subtle relation to one another: “beauty is a personal goal, but I believe that it came from the accurate and comfortable representation of data”’ (Centaur Publication, 2008, p. mar – 50).
The aesthetic is needed to make it worth looking at see the whole functionality. DIDI.com. (2001). Digital image design incorporated - A TextArc is a visual represention of a text—the entire text (twice!) on a single page. A funny combination of an index, concordance, and summary; it uses the viewer's eye to help uncover meaning.
