Here at Newspaper Club, we have always been big fans of Stamen's work.

You can imagine our excitement when the order came in for a paper full of their new watercolour maps! Stamen have recently released three different map visual styles for use with OpenStreetMap under a Creative Commons license*.

They wanted to make a paper for the Where 2.0 conference in San Francisco. The paper features pull-out posters of different cities using the gorgeous watercolour map. The watercolour treatment seems to really suit the texture of newsprint.

Holy smoke, that finished paper is a beautiful thing. I think I might get my copy framed.
