  • Cartographic Typefaces: Some examples
    • ]]>     Everyone that creates maps has to deal with color, some way or another. While there are many different ways of going about it (refer to any textbook on cartography), few online resources seem to be up to the tasks. Well I recently stumbled upon NASA’s Color Usage website. Apart from the excellent articles and resources provided (thank you NASA), they also include a Color Tool (Java Applet) that allows one to explore colors in a very beautiful way. I hope you find the information there as useful as I have.
