A map is worth a thousand words, so make sure your map communicates effectively. So often cartographic products lose their message because of poor design. Learn how to make your map look like a high end design piece. It is often thought that a map must be exported outside of ArcMAP and into a graphic design program to make it look like a compelling visual, but the tools are already there. Let’s push the boundaries of ArcMAP to help make your final product an eye-catching piece and have fun!
