Are you already familiar with basic GIS and want to learn how to make better maps? Then this is the event for you! We will discuss a wide range of aspects and best practices for making digital maps, including use of color, fonts, labeling, symbology, and basemaps. We will look at examples from professional cartographers and discuss lessons we can learn to improve our individual maps. 


 


This is an online-only webinar that will be conducted through Zoom. No hands-on demo or tutorial will be conducted, but attendees are encouraged to take notes and ask questions in order to successfully apply these learnings to their own projects. Presentation slides will be shared after the event.
