CARTOGRAPHY PROJECTS
Geography 4100: Cartographic Techniques
Department of Geography & Earth Sciences
UNC-Charlotte
Taught by: Laurie A.B.Garo, Spring Semester, 1998
The project for Spring, 1998 was to a create color map with
complex layers of polygons. The area to be mapped was selected by individual
students. The map projects include population density, and climatic themes.
The project involved tracing from a source map onto a base with a different
projection, scanning the tracing, using that scanned map as a template
for intricate tracing of different relief layers in Adobe Illustrator,
relevant color selection, scanning and importing a photograph of a relevant
scene, completing other design elements, producing a color print, and carrying
out the necessary conversions for publishing on the web. Students used
Adobe Illustrator 6.0 for map production and Photoshop 4.0 to prepare scanned
images for importing into Adobe Illustrator and onto the web. Their web
pages were created in Netscape Navigator Gold 3.0.
The following are the Spring, 1998 relief map projects:
