Backgrounds are no indicator

Culture of criticism
Form is over-taking function
The production paradox
Short-attention-spans
A template for cartography
1. Consider the effects of what you create in and of your map
2. Understand the consequences of your map-making decisions
3. Take your map-making charge seriously for it isn’t trivial
4. Be aware of both the story and how you tell it
5. Leave the mapping landscape a little better than you found it
6. Build consensus through your mapping
7. Lead by example
8. Limit your desire for the one-hit wonder
9. Avoid being too bound by the technology of the moment
10. Protect what you have, edit carefully, invent when necessary
