Make Better Maps

Randy_A_Stapleton

Hi All,

Does anyone have any good resources, tips, or tricks for designing better maps? Also, I am looking for a good set of road/highway marker shields.

Thanks,

I have found that Aileen Buckley's article in ArcUser (2012) is a great starting point. I refer undergrads to this source frequently. http://www.esri.com/news/arcuser/0112/files/design-principles.pdf

Hope it helps,

Paul

Good book. A little dated though.Thank you, David!

Practice, practice, practice!

Also have a look at the David Medeiros' presentation on Cartography in GIS (link below).

My go-to bible for cartographic principles and thematic representation is a book called:

Thematic Cartography and Geovisualization (3rd ed)

by Slocum, McMaster, Kessler and Howard

ISBN 978-0-13-229834-6

I think every "mapper" should have a copy of this, I reference it a lot.

Cheers,

Todd

For starters, how about Dr. Brewer's Esri Press books, Designed Maps and Designing Better Maps?
