One problem with Designspiration (Where I got this design) is it doesn't link you to the artists blog or website or even give a company name or designer name. So I can't look further into this persons work! As soon as I saw this I thought I could do something with it. Maybe illustrate my chosen countries in Europe and fill each one with the stereotypes they all have! So Imagine this 'map' of Brooklyn was the UK. The whole of it was full of sterotypes. The only thing that would be wrong with this i would have to divide each word or words with lines which would then make it look like I am saying something about an individual county!
