Map – A piece of Art

Making maps involves as much art as much it involves the science. Making a painting involves multiple aspects like dimension, color choice, element size, proportion, spacing and presentation. Does any of these sound familiar to my fellow cartographers? Yes, these are kind of the same basics we use while making a map. I have passion for canvas painting and I can very well impose the same while I am making a map. I think we won’t be wrong if we call ourselves cartographers and artists!!
