Harrisburg Pub Crawl

Working on Harrisburg Pub Crawl project was very interesting. This was my first contact with any information about pub and alcohol!! Overall it was pretty simple project but I had to do more of base research and concept research for this. Though choosing the theme for the map was little tactic. For the path and the pub location I used one of the base maps from ArcMap. I ended up using beer mug as my theme for the project.

I tried to give more visual impact to the map rather than putting too much text information. To lighten the mood of the theme I used lots of cartoons while projecting the information. ‘

P.S: It was a good opportunity for me to learn about pubs and alcohol!! ;)

Study Abroad Poster

The very first assignment in cartography class was to make a flyer for collage’s study abroad program. It was specially to get hands on PowerPoint and Gimp (graphic software). But we had to add one map which should be created in ArcGIS.

(Map for Study Abroad Poster made in ArcMap.)

(Finished product-Flyer for HACC's study abroad program.)

This project taught that graphic skills are must needed talent for mapmaking. We learned to plan a layout, to balance page with elements, to conceder map purpose and audience, etc. It was good start and I enjoyed that project.

Mapping urban transition of Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad is the largest city in state Gujarat, India with a city population of about 4 million. It is the seventh largest city and eighth largest metropolitan area of the country. The video below shows the history of the development of the city from its foundation in 1411 AD to present day.

The video contains maps that are scaled models of spatial concepts of the city. Maps depict transition and process of urbanization in city. It also tells history of cartography and achievements in the branch in India. All the maps shown in video are truly admirable.
