Class Description:
The course provides a general introduction to cartography (broadly defined). Our primary emphasis will be on map making, with lesser emphases on cartographic research and the history of cartography. Lectures will focus on modern cartographic design principles and how they were developed. Lab assignments help develop skills using digital tools for producing effective maps. Cartography is a very old discipline and over the centuries a particular map vocabulary was developed. By the end of the course you will have a good understanding of this vocabulary and how it impacts your ability to make maps that are both attractive and effective.
