Cartographer's Toolkit is like a big cheat-sheet for cartography.
Its three chapters: Colors, Typography, and Composition Patterns
build from individual map components to cohesive cartographic
constructions. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction
explaining relevant theory, key definitions, and usage suggestions.
The pages that follow each introduction provide an abundance of
visual demonstrations that are the basis for the tools in the
toolkit. The book contains: Colors: 30 color palettes of 10 colors
each, in 3 categories: coordinated palettes, color ramps, and
differentiated; Typography: 50 typefaces showcased in 3 categories:
standard, free, and for-fee; and Composition Patterns: 28 patterns,
illustrated with 36 maps by many of today's leading cartographers.
Here you will find design tools for the advanced cartographer-and
those who wish to become advanced cartographers-for producing the
high-level static and interactive maps required in our current
innovative environment. The information presented in this book,
along with the more fundamental cartography theory in the author's
first book, GIS Cartography: A Guide to Effective Map Design,
equips cartographers with the tools they need to perform at the top
of the map making field, producing maps that are informative,
inspired, and original. "Cartographer's Toolkit is an excellent new
book. It focuses on real-world solutions rather than cartographic
theory, and is full of ideas that will inspire new approaches and
creative solutions for cartographers. I love the book's clean,
accessible, no-nonsense approach." -Allen Carroll, Former Chief
Cartographer at National Geographic, Esri "For any geo technology
professional, would-be cartographer, and mapping aficionado,
Cartographer's Toolkit is a must-have. You'll get hooked on the
amazing examples, sample maps, and images that are used
throughout." -Glenn Letham, Editor, GISuser.com "A book full of
little cartographic nuggets." -Clint Brown, Director of Software
