Principles of Cartography

Cartography is the art and science of making maps.

Goals of Cartography

• Communicate geographical information graphically

• The look of a map depends on the needs of the audience and the point that you aim to convey.

Harmony: Color Choices

HSV • Hue • Saturation

– aka ‘vividness’ • Value

– aka Light/Dark

Harmony: Color for emphasis

Constant lightness & saturation “Asian” is darker “Two or more races” is more saturated
