Synopsis

"An essential guide to information design exploring the
importance of mapping and the visual language of location and direction,
plus spatial and structural relationships." Computer Bookshops (UK)

Maps and charts are needed by both businesses and society in order to make
complicated information and data comprehensible. The art of mapping has
therefore become one of the core graphic design practices. However, very
little literature exists on this subject and the few books available fail
to address all the issues involved. Mapping offers a comprehensive study of
all areas of cartography from nautical charts to subway systems, from web
sites to calendars. Featuring in-depth essays by Paul Stiff, a UK-based
information design specialist, this book will be welcomed by professional
graphic/information design students and design students everywhere.
