Blueprint trail posters

About the Blueprint style

Blueprint renders the same real contour lines as the Topographic style, but as white and pale cyan linework on a deep blue ground with a faint drafting grid behind them, like an engineering survey sheet pulled from an architect's flat file. The trail is drawn in bright white so the route stands clear of the contour field.

It is a calm, technical, low-contrast style that hangs well in an office or study and pairs naturally with black or natural wood frames. The distance, gain and elevation figures are set in the corner like a title block.

Like every Outposters print, a Blueprint poster is rendered on demand for the trail you choose, from the route geometry and public elevation data (USGS 3DEP in the United States, AWS Terrain Tiles elsewhere), printed to order at 300 DPI and shipped rolled in a tube. It comes in 4 sizes, 12×16″ at $39, 18×24″ at $59, 24×32″ at $79, 30×40″ at $99, all at the same 3:4 proportion; every size except 24×32″ fits a standard frame. Free US shipping.
