The Map Is Not The Territory Salviati Planisphere Poster
Have you ever held an incomplete mental model in your head? In other words, have you ever had a fixed idea in your head and then, when you go out into the world to explore and experiment, find out that the mental model is either incomplete, incorrect, or both? Let your wry psychological and philosophical side shine with this design featuring The Salviati Planisphere (circa 1525), a mental representation of what cartographers in the 16th century thought the world looked like, along with Alfred Korzybski's infamous quote "The map is not the territory". As a founder of general semantics, Korzybski argued that human knowledge of the world is limited both by the human nervous system and by language. Consequently, no one can have direct access to reality, because all of what we know is filtered through our brain's responses to reality. If we hold mental models of the world that are inherently incomplete since we experience and understand the world through our abstractions, then we must understand the limitations of any model or viewpoint that we have of the world. Classic mental expression poster for anyone who has held an abstract model in one's mind.

I was so amazed at how this all turned out. Everyone who attended the funeral was in awe of how beautiful it was made.
And I owe it all to Zazzle. I wouldn’t have done it better myself not to mention I wouldnt have time to do it.
The great part of it all was they had templates that was catered to my needs and that I could use it in ways I wanted to use to resize it my way. It took some time but I was happy it turned out great. I did 100 photos, 89, 66 photos (I think) lol templates.
The only suggestion is that the templates, before sending through would tell you of errors like; saying please revise or resize it again for any photos that is not perfectly well sitting or not show it’s cutting off some of them and where it tells you there’s duplicates.
Staring, placing and resizing all 100 + pictures into the template can be tiresome and overwhelming and it makes my eyes blurred that I can’t tell if they’re cutting off or overlapping or duplicates.
Overall I am very pleased and will be using Zazzle again should the need arises.
Thank you Zazzle.
Altogether I’ve done 3 collages 1 profile picture and couple pictures with 1 frame and yet this is my first time ordering as a 1 time customer.
Prices were very reasonable and accommodating to my finances.

Fun bright artwork that really captures the mood I’m going for! Pop art with cyberpunk energy. A little sweet but also spicy. This art is the perfect size and vibe for our art gallery wall. The printing looks great, high quality with vibrant colors! I went with the semi-gloss finish, which adds a little extra shine and thickness to the print making it excellent for high-traffic areas like the staircase wall.
