MAP DESIGN FOR A MULTI- PUBLISHING FRAMEWORK - CASE MENOMAPS IN NUUKSIO NATIONAL PARK

摘要

The map design process in the MenoMaps project confirmed the fact that the multi-publishing framework for a map service emphasises the role of the art in cartography as well as the specific essence of maps co mpared with general graphical illustrations and pictures. Since legibility and the clarity of the maps must be preserved, symbol, colour, and typographic design have to be tailored for all channels, scale - levels, and use-contexts separately. Future research is needed to improve the map design aimed at specific user groups.
