It's no secret that the stars at night are big and bright deep in the heart of Texas. Heck, everything's bigger in Texas, and better for that matter according to most Texans. Since most inhabitants of the Lone Star State enjoy bragging about as much, if not more than they enjoy high school football, it makes sense that the boastful nature of residents of the second largest state would shine through in their artwork. When Austin-based graphic designer DJ Stout was asked to create a map of the Southwest as part of a promotion for Sappi Fine paper that asked six designers from six different regions of the U.S to create maps of their respective regions, you can bet Stout let everyone know where he was coming from. Utilizing the familiar concept of the Texas Brag Map, Stout created a Texas Designer’s Map Of The World. His creation visually trumpets the importance of all things Texas, while jokingly denigrating all other regional also-rans and showcasing that brand of humor unique to Texas inhabitants.
