British Cartographic Society event: the full programme
THE MAP DESIGNERS. November 17th, Glasgow.
We are delighted to announce that the programme has now been finalised.
Anyone who commissions maps, or who is involved in the making of maps,
whether from GIS data or the imagination of the artist will be welcome
at 'The Map Designers' seminar. The seminar is designed for architects,
surveyors, tourism, foresters, utilities, earth scientists, cartographers,
graphic artists, and government; in fact every branch of society that uses
or creates maps.
For the first time in the UK, and probably worldwide, this seminar will
bring together cartographic designers, and designers from the world of
media and GIS, to discuss how to make maps effective, exciting,
irresistible and ...readable.
More details for this innovative seminar can be found at
