Wednesday, April 9, 2008. This week we continue our advanced features in Flash and look further into map and graphic design. Inspired by Tufte's "Graphical Excellence" I want to look at even more maps:. NYC and London subway maps and modifications. Earth Live (Discovery Channel). Real time Wikipedia posting shown geographically. Neat video that's appropriate for map makers. And just to keep up your yearning for maps:. National Geographic's Map of the Day. And for Lab 9:.

Map Design: April has arrived!
http://mapdesign.blogspot.com/2008/04/april-has-arrived.html
Wednesday, April 2, 2008. And so we continue our look into maps and their design elements. Today let's look some more into color:. Color is both empowering and overwhelming. It can transform a map in a fantastic way and it can also kill a map. Knowing how to use color is key. The most popular cartographic color site is Cindy Brewer's ColorBrewer. Catchy name, huh? It is such a simple, easy to use starting point that I know direct all of my new map makers to the site to start their color journey.

Map Design: More wonderful maps!
http://mapdesign.blogspot.com/2008/04/more-wonderful-maps.html
Wednesday, April 16, 2008. Is a website with extensive graphics and links to all sorts of interesting research. Lots of examples of complex datasets. And at the other side. A different topic, but a very interesting approach to visualizing a complex yet simple concept: the number of people in the world. A map I just found this week: estimation of risk. And a little bit of the art side of maps:. Posted by Jill Hallden. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Fairfax, Virginia, United States.

Map Design: February 2008
http://mapdesign.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 27, 2008. Looking at cartographic animations (from a design and multimedia standpoint). Animation with moving symbol. Another example with a historical bend. A moving symbol in a hurricane simulation. A "faux-GIS" style animation. Another one about Michigan. And this is just an interesting way to search for news geographically. And this is just a very unique visualization of movie box office domestic grosses. Posted by Jill Hallden. How to get your Flash file on your blog. But it migh...

Map Design: Lab 7 Hints (Splash screens and rollovers)
http://mapdesign.blogspot.com/2008/04/lab-7-hints-splash-screens-and.html
Wednesday, April 2, 2008. Lab 7 Hints (Splash screens and rollovers). I've received 2 questions on the splash screens and wanted to pass along these hints:. At the end of your splash screen scene, just add a "goto and play" script to the final frame, or add a button that allows your users to advance there on their own. I also received a question about roll-overs (when everything, even the "hidden" part is "active"):. More questions or handy tricks? Post a comment to this post! Posted by Jill Hallden.
