Less Maps - More Design
Nick Doiron - @mapmeld - MoMA NYC

Not much different
Going onlinechanges tactics
What do I want to show?
Building UI around that
Access unconventional data
Less exploring, more focus
Making it responsive
Made with
2013.CodeForAmerica.org
Is your map…
• drawn to scale • looking like a map • meant to be literal
and why?
General Atlas of the World, 1854
Design concepts are traditional GIS concepts too
• adapt and update design skills when we go up to the web
