Brilliant work centering life instead of borders. The three-globe solution really nails it - most people dunno how limiting the traditional two-hemisphere setup is until they see unbroken landmasses like this. What's clever is how the desaturatd palette keeps things natural without looking like a strict phyiscal map, kinda threading that needle between education and aesthetics.
A lovely digest of the design process. Enjoyed the description the layout’s “dynamic tension” and the sentence “Alas, too planetarium.“
