Editor's Notes
- production of 7th and 8th edition of Jacaranda Atlas for Wiley
- developed updated design, using latest global spatial datasets production using Esri ArcGIS for major map plates
- thematic maps done using Adobe Illustrator
- digital atlas developed for 7th edition
- print files used to create digital maps presented using Flash online
- iPad released around this time iOS app developed
- final art unintentionally altered in the development process issues with fonts, resolution of artwork, label placement
- in summary, re-use of print artwork gave unsatisfactory results not designed for screen use Flash-based website not suitable for iOS delivery
- issues encountered led me to develop Masters research project at RMIT under Prof. Bill Cartwright supervision
- broad objective: how technology and cartographic research affected design of student atlases
- student atlas have been published in Australia since the 1870s early editions contained a few pages of maps, whilst more recent atlases contained over 300 pages of maps and curriculum exercises
- early editions, like this Pearson atlas was printed in black and white. Some editions were hand coloured (for an extra cost) style was similar to existing atlas maps no design consideration for a younger audience text was often placed on a curve sans serif fonts were used hachures used to present relief lithographic printing technology - designs were etched onto copper plates (in reverse) by lithographers from cartographers designs no cartographic research had been done to this point in time

- chromolithography introduced second colour content becoming simplified for the audience some cartographic research being done in Germany serif and sans serif fonts being used curved labels still being used transport and industry featuring on the map

- multi-colour printing becoming established simplified content research now established - Arthur Robinson ‘The Look of Maps’ hierarchy of features relief shown using hypsometric tints - green - yellow - red
- multi-colour printing becoming established simplified content research now established - Arthur Robinson ‘The Look of Maps’ hierarchy of features relief shown using hypsometric tints - green - yellow - red
- offset printing made production easier and more cost effective research established - hypsometric colours altered, red seen as confusing sans serif fonts preferred over serif colour introduced to text (hydro features)

- GIS production of maps spatial datasets used simplified design no serif fonts relief shading and land cover used instead of hypsometry research into map reading by children established by Wiegand
- GIS production of maps spatial datasets used simplified design no serif fonts relief shading and land cover used instead of hypsometry research into map reading by children established by Wiegand
- after 1950s design influenced by researchers such as Robinson, Wiegand, Brewer and others. foundation research still relevant today in creating map designs technology (lithography, offset printing, GIS) drives production methods, which enhanced design.
- second research objective - determine design best practice and minimum standards
