Mapping calls

Interesting (dead?) project

(Lessons From the Swiss Cheese Map ) "Maps record facts, but whether by design or accident, they also project worldviews and function as arguments. Every map reflects a set of judgments that influence the viewer's impression of the underlying data. The choice of colors and labels, the cropping, and the process of selecting what gets included and what gets left out all combine to form a visual gestalt. A skilled designer can make peace seem inevitable or impossible, reassuring or terrifying, logical or jumbled." - Shari Motro Via
