Paris versus New York

Synopsis of Paris versus New York

«Paris versus New York» is the visual essay by designer Vahram Muratyan, published by Mosaik in hardcover (224 pages, in German).

A drawn comparison between Paris and New York: clichés, habits and monuments of both cities face off in minimalist illustrations with clean lines and flat colors. The project began as a travel blog and ended up as this book, where each double page humorously contrasts the details that make each metropolis unique.

Subtitled «A Tally of Two Cities», the work was originally published in 2011; this German edition appeared in 2012.

For fans of graphic design, illustration and urban culture, as well as for travelers who enjoy visual comparisons between cities.
