Putting Design On The Map
The web lets us express creativity and enhance communication in incredible ways, so why is it that we painstakingly craft our design and code but pay almost no attention at all to map? The purpose of this talk is to explore the history and importance of cartography, as well as practical ways to make make your own maps. There really is no need to use the default Google map for every single map on the web.
