EVERY MUSIC MAP, FILM PLOT MAP & MORE BY MIKE BELL

I'm a designer based in Lewes, East Sussex, who shifted from show and event design to creating unique tube-style maps during lockdown. What started as a way to keep my mind engaged while combating a neurological misdiagnosis(!) has become my passion project.

My maps transform complex stories into visually engaging journeys. Whether charting a band's history (like my sixteen-attempt odyssey mapping The Fall's chaotic line-ups), exploring film plots, or diving into other cultural narratives, each map distils intricate information into something beautiful and easy to follow.

My music research is unique in that it brings together information from scattered and often overlooked sources—details that have never been compiled in one place before. By connecting data from interviews, fan forums, album liner notes, visual aesthetics, and historical context, I uncover hidden relationships and cultural patterns across artists and genres. I then translate this research into transit-style maps that tell compelling stories through visual design—turning complex musical histories into accessible, engaging journeys for the viewer.

Each musician becomes a line, each album a station stop, making complex histories simple to navigate. My maps turn overwhelming information into clear, engaging art prints that ship globally.
