Map of the Internet
Amateur graphic designer Martin Vargic creates anything but amateur-level work.
We recently stumbled upon his incredible "Map of the Internet 1.0," a rendering of what
the Internet might look like if it were actually put together on a vintage map. And it took
him just 3 weeks.
The result is pretty spectacular.
Vargic, a full-time student in Slovakia, used Photoshop for most of the drawing and modeled
the style of the map after those seen in National Geographic. He used data from Alexa to
come up with the listing of the top websites.
"I created the map in quite a short time, three weeks to be exact," Vargic told us in an
email. "I often worked early in the morning, and I can say I really enjoyed it."
Here's how Vargic explained the layout of the map to us (lightly edited for clarity):
"The map is divided into 2 distinctive parts; the eastern continent, 'the old world'
showcases software companies, gaming companies and some of the more real-life oriented
websites. Western part, 'the new world' is composed from two major continents, northern
one showcasing social networks, search websites, video websites, blogs, forums and
art websites.
All major adult-oriented websites, in addition to various warez and torrent sites,
are located on the southwestern continent of the map.
In the very south of the map, there is located 'Great Southern Land' of obsolete
websites and online services. Outside the main map, there are also 4 minimaps showing
NSA monitoring by country, most used browser, most used social network, and internet
penetration by country.
The scale between a website's traffic and its size is not exact, but websites are
generally portrayed in ratio relative to it."
