From experienced cartographers to those who make GIS maps only occasionally, all GIS users will find this book to be an indispensable resource.. Each chapter characterizes a common design decision and includes a demonstration map, which is annotated with specific information needed to reproduce the design, such as text fonts, sizes and styles; line weights, colors, and patterns; marker symbol fonts, sizes, and colors; and fill colors and patterns. The book also includes a valuable task index that explains what ArcGIS 9 tools to use for desired cartographic effects. This sequel to the highly successful Designing Maps, offers a graphics-intensive presentation of published maps, providing cartographic examples that GIS users can then adapt for their own needs. Visual hierarchies and the purpose of each map are considered with the audience in mind, drawing a clear connection between intent and design

The author J Jason Horejs is the owner of an art gallery located in Scottsville, Arizona and his advice seems to be universally applicable - even here in South Africa. I accidently purchased "Designed Maps" thinking I was getting Cynthia Brewers other book "Designing Better Maps", but I stumbled across something great. "Designed Maps" also does a wonderful job of explaining how the map is intended to be used and what the user is supposed to see. There are lots of decorating ideas which is a bonus!. College-level libraries strong in either cartography or GIS mapping design will appreciated DESIGNED MAPS: SOURCEBOOK FOR GIS USERS, which offers easy basic guidelines for creating the cartographic effects using ESRI ArcGis Desktop software. Many helpful insights and confidence builders. The result is a powerful sourcebook any GIS collection needs.. I love this book. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who is looking for a comprehensive study guide and can say, for me, it proved to be a definite success.. Have already recommended it to my gallery rep!. It is great to find out we are doing so many things right and where our efforts could go further.. I found that this study guide covered relevant information
