Presentation Transcript

  1. Notes Various and sundry important stuff

  2. Overview • Computers in Moon • Submitting the Transcript • Your data structure (again) • Quick maps & ColorBrewer esf Laboratory for Applied GIS

  3. Moon • Don’t try to use the computers in the “Tutorial” area • They are NOT running v9.2 of the software • Basement machines are OK esf Laboratory for Applied GIS

  4. The Transcript Looks something like this But without the cell borders http://www.esf.edu/for/herrington/557/Notes/Transcripts.html esf Laboratory for Applied GIS

  5. Data Structure demo esf Laboratory for Applied GIS

  7. Map Elements used in design • Main map • Smaller scale inset maps showing location • Larger scale inset maps showing detail • Title of the map (usually prominent) • Subtitles • Legend • Scale • North Arrow esf Laboratory for Applied GIS

  8. Map Elements used in design • Main map • Smaller scale inset maps showing location • Larger scale inset maps showing detail • Title of the map (usually prominent) • Subtitles • Legend • Scale • North Arrow esf Laboratory for Applied GIS

  9. Movement of reader’s eye - upper left to lower right Field Focus esf Laboratory for Applied GIS

  12. Using Eye Movement Eye goes left to right Generally you want the reader to see the map BEFORE seeing the legend – can’t always do it esf Laboratory for Applied GIS

  16. Text • Use mixture of upper and lower case • ALL UPPER CASE IS HARDER TO READ • Use sans serif text • No fancy fonts • Big print for important stuff • Little print for not so important stuff • Use only 2 font families – usually one serif and one sans serif. esf Laboratory for Applied GIS

  21. Summary of Guidelines • Map layout – where are the pieces going to go – major pieces – visual center – eye path – uneven juxtaposition of parts • The map area and what’s in it • Legend placement (usually to right of map) • Scale bar, North Arrow • Balance • White space • Map Title – Large – may not be needed esf Laboratory for Applied GIS
