The full map design, which is A3 size. The arrangement of the map into four columns, orientated in the direction of travel (i.e. south-east), is directly inspired by 18th-century route maps by John Ogilvy and others. All descriptive text was written by the magazine's co-creators and editors, Henry Eliot and Matt Lloyd. The border is inspired by decorative textile designs by William Morris.
