Jon Wong: Exploradonia

Check out this amaz­ing book project by Jon Wong, a new intern over at ISO50 and cur­rent stu­dent at The Academy of Art, San Francisco.

Exploradonia is the name of a fic­ti­tious coun­try that was kept off the map as a result of the Cold War. However, the island has since been made pub­lic and is look­ing to boost it’s tourism econ­omy. The book was mod­eled after a travel guide, and the coun­try was used as a vehi­cle to dis­cuss the mer­its of explor­ing in all its forms: through edu­ca­tion, explor­ing in nature & by using technology.

Pretty darn impres­sive, I must say. More details can be seen at Bēhance.
