For more than 18 years, Designing Better Maps: A Guide for GIS Users has been essential reading for all mapmakers who use geographic information system (GIS) technology across industries and sectors, including government, commercial, creative, and education. This third edition continues the reliable legacy of this book, distinctive in its clear and efficient emphasis on core cartographic concepts and updated with new and revamped design practices.
With more than 400 full-color illustrations, this book applies map design best practices to both reference and statistical mapping, guiding you through the following processes:
- Planning maps
- Using basemaps
- Using scale and time
- Explaining maps
- Publishing and sharing maps
- Applying type and labels
- Understanding and using color
- Customizing symbols
Award-winning author Cynthia A. Brewer uses her sophisticated mix of experiences-conducting academic research, teaching novice cartographers, mentoring advanced students on research and mapmaking, and collaborating with analysts and mapmakers at various federal agencies-to present this practical information. In 2023, she was awarded the International Cartographic Society's highest honor, the Carl Mannerfelt Gold Medal, for distinguished contributions to her field.
Whether you face the challenge of making well-designed maps or are already adept at GIS data management and analysis but need better ways to visually communicate spatial information and results, Designing Better Maps will help you learn how to use GIS tools to design provocative and accessible maps.
