Pointillist

Your GPS tracks sampled into thousands of small points, so the map of where you go emerges the way a pointillist painting does: nothing up close, everything from across the room. Connect Strava, choose the range, and the print draws itself in a minute.

What it reads from your data

A running route dot art print, from your own activities

Every selected activity, sampled to evenly spaced points.
Denser where you go often, sparse on the once-only routes.
A title, the totals and the dates beneath.
The Mono palette by default; any colour of your own for the points.

Every part of the print can be moved, resized, recoloured or removed in the Studio; the route, the map and the words each take a colour of their own. Nothing is printed until you order.

Good to know

How many activities does it need?

Fifty or more looks best; with fewer the points read as scattered lines rather than a field.

Will it print cleanly?

Yes. The points are drawn as vector shapes and printed at 300 dpi, so each is a clean dot on the paper.

Can I add the map?

Yes, faintly, so the points sit on the streets; most people leave it off.

How it works

From the Studio to your wall in three steps.

Step 01

Choose your subject

Connect Strava in one tap for a race, a ride or a whole year. Or search for a place, type a postcode for your street on the old Ordnance Survey, or add a photograph — none of those needs an account.

Step 02

Choose your style

Start from a finished design and make it yours: the words, the colours, the size. Twenty-three styles for your own miles, four treatments for a place, six layouts for a photograph, and the old survey as drawn or in your colours.
