City Maps Printed on T-Shirts

 

The appeal of maps lies in their aesthetic beauty and how personal they can be: your childhood home, the city where you studied, your first house or a great holiday. Taking 80 custom-designed maps from cities all over the world and turning them into elegant, stylish and great-fitting t-shirts, Sheffield’s Alex Szabo-Haslam aims to inspire with his latest design project – Citee. If you love maps, and wear t-shirts, this is literally right up your street – there are bound to places you've lived or visited.

The unique series features beautifully illustrated, highly detailed maps printed on American Apparel t-shirts. Maps are stripped back to their purest shapes (no names or locations are shown), leaving a minimal, modern, and distinctive form. From London to Los Angeles, Nottingham to Nashville, there are more than 80 cities from across the globe. Alex's approach to design is obsessive, and this really shows through in his work: every effort has been made to ensure roads, rivers, and buildings look beautiful.

Each t-shirt is printed using a technique known as sublimation, which literally dyes the intricate design into the super-soft fabrics – meaning the crisp detail on each t-shirt won't fade in the wash.

Despite the hours of planning, designing and testing that have already gone into the project, Citee still needs your help. Utilising the crowd-funding website, KickStarter, Alex has just 35 days for supporters to ‘pledge’ funds towards the project. The project reached its £2000 target within 36 hours, but now the stretch goal is to raise £10,000 to purchase printing equipment and premises (which will mean support for local artists and, eventually, jobs).

T-shirts start at just £24 with additional bundle options.
