Information Design with Maps
Class #: TM110 Register Now
The powerful and affordable GIS software available today enables a cartographer to incorporate vast amounts of geospatial data for the production of detailed maps. These maps may serve a variety of purposes including the simple display of quantitative data, as tools for educational purposes and as a component of advocacy efforts. While GIS software makes the production of these maps a fairly simple task, the GIS practitioner must simultaneously balance the science of GIS with the artistry of information design in order to produce maps that effectively meet the needs of the map consumer. Strategies for achieving this balance will be the focus of the course. Students will work with geospatial data using ArcGIS software in order to produce a set of maps that communicate information effectively. Case studies will also be presented in order to illustrate the concepts covered in class.
