His neighbourhood maps are a bold, attractive representation of the area&#8217;s streets, laneways, and parks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><i>&#8220;In my love of Toronto I\u2019ve occasionally yearned for maps that depict our unique neighbourhoods \u2014 both to celebrate them and note their boundaries \u2014 but have been unable to find such a thing. Now that I&#8217;m in graphic design school, I decided to try crafting such maps myself. The result is austere designs meant to celebrate our neighbourhoods as distinct from their surroundings, like tiny cities unto themselves. Oriented to our streets\u2019 grid rather than what is technically north, these maps are meant to represent our neighbourhoods simply, as we instinctively think of them in quotidian navigation.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Currently we have six maps of Alexander&#8217;s available: <a href=\"http:\/\/spacingstore.ca\/collections\/prints\/products\/annex-neighbourhood-map\">The Annex<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/spacingstore.ca\/collections\/prints\/products\/junction-neighbourhood-map\">The Junction<\/a>, <a href=\"spacingstore.ca\/collections\/prints\/products\/kensington-neighbourhood-map\">Kensington Market<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/spacingstore.ca\/collections\/prints\/products\/toronto-neighbourhood-maps-leslieville\">Leslieville<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/spacingstore.ca\/collections\/prints\/products\/toronto-neighbourhood-maps-parkdale\">Parkdale<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/spacingstore.ca\/collections\/prints\/products\/toronto-neighbourhood-maps-roncesvalles\">Roncesvalles<\/a>, and he is hard at work creating more that will be released over the following weeks.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"600\" height=\"450\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"offsite=true&amp;lang=en-us&amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fspacing%2Fsets%2F72157634863625222%2Fshow%2F&amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fspacing%2Fsets%2F72157634863625222%2F&amp;set_id=72157634863625222&amp;jump_to=\" \/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/slideshow\/show.swf?v=124984\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed width=\"600\" height=\"450\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/slideshow\/show.swf?v=124984\" flashvars=\"offsite=true&amp;lang=en-us&amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fspacing%2Fsets%2F72157634863625222%2Fshow%2F&amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fspacing%2Fsets%2F72157634863625222%2F&amp;set_id=72157634863625222&amp;jump_to=\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spacing has always used our merchandise as an important fundraising tool for the magazine\u00a0\u2014 it helps to keep our ad content low, and editorial content high.
