This was a special purpose mapping project I produced while working at Atlas Canada. It was designed for the Director General at NRCan’s Assistant Deputy Minister’s Office depicting a ship excursion from Resolute to Cambridge Bay. Made using ArcMap 10.0 and CorelDRAW X4 and a table of collected GPS data. ¤ used table of GPS points gathered aboard the Louis St. Laurent to plot its course in Arc 10.0 ¤ customized and exported basemap data at 1:2,000,000 with a 14X18-inch clip as a .pdf ¤ created hillshade in ArcMap; exported and refined image in Photoshop; overlaid, applied effects, and chose colours for province polygon and glacier layers ¤ used exported .pdf vector layers to symbolize features, place text, choose colours, complete design, and do final map layout in CorelDRAW ¤ adjusted final plot file to closely match digital appearance by plotting swatches, testing different plotters, and conferring with technicians |
