For thematic maps, Color Brewer is a lot of help.<br><br><a href="http://www.personal.psu.edu/cab38/ColorBrewer/ColorBrewer_intro.html">http://www.personal.psu.edu/cab38/ColorBrewer/ColorBrewer_intro.html</a><br><br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: mapserver-users-bounces@lists.osgeo.org<br>[mailto:mapserver-users-bounces@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Andy<br>Colson<br>Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2009 2:39 PM<br>To: mapser all users<br>Subject: [mapserver-users] pretty maps<br><br><br>Hi All,<br><br>I am a programmer, and not an artist or a mapper.  (I cant even draw<br>good stick figures.)<br><br>So my question is, how do ya'll make pretty maps?  Is there a tool you<br>use?  Are there standards/common colors/symbols that should be used? (I<br>assume watter should be blue... and red-green dotted lines to show alien<br><br>landing sites :-) )<br><br>Also, are there people/company's around that we could hire to make my<br>maps look pretty?  (I'm think of sending them my mapfile and shapefies,<br>and they'd send me a mapfile back, and it wouldn't be too expensive)<br><br>I don't have permission to spend money on this yet, but I can see it<br>coming down the road.  I'd like to know what my options are.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>-Andy<br>_______________________________________________<br>mapserver-users mailing list<br>mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org<br><a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver</a>-users<br>_______________________________________________<br>mapserver-users mailing list<br>mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org<br><a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver</a>-users<br>
