Google Earth Alphabets in Kuwait by Patrick Semaan


The Google Earth Alphabet project by Patrick Semaan
gives you a bird's eye view of the country by soaring over landmarks that look alphabets. Inspired by the Google Maps Typography project by Rhett Dashwood, Patrick Semaan thought he could do a Kuwait version.

I first started this 3.5 years ago, reached about half the letters and kinda gave-up / slept on it. I started re-working on it again in the past 4 months and finally got to finish it. It required lots and lots of patience and attention to details. The hardest letters were R, N and Z.

 

He's covered all 26 alphabets in this video which I really like, makes me feel like I'm flying over Kuwait. Enjoy.
