GEOG 2007A An Introduction to Geographic Information SystemsFall, 2004 C. Earl First principle: to inform, to communicate What is the purpose of the map? Aspects of Map Design

GEOG 2007A An Introduction to Geographic Information SystemsFall, 2004 C. Earl A map tells a story, sets a mood. Maps use the same principles of composition an artist uses. They can be beautiful; they can display intelligence and wit. Excerpt from A New Plan of the Road from London to Dover, and from Calais to Paris (Charles Smith, 1801), from Tufte “Envisioning Information”, p. 112.

GEOG 2007A An Introduction to Geographic Information SystemsFall, 2004 C. Earl To design for effective communication and enhance map aesthetics, we may use graphical techniques such as: balance visual contrast

Use strong colours sparingly

Subordinate other elements to the main subject matter of the map.

Conventional symbols for point and line features

More symbols

GEOG 2007A An Introduction to Geographic Information SystemsFall, 2004 C. Earl Symbolization Use text labels on the map to identify individual features; don’t use colours or differently shaped point symbols. Use colours or symbols for classes of feature. e.g. Luigi’s e.g. Italian restaurants
