Pełny opis: |
1. Map as a model of reality – little white lies, attraction and distraction • colours (features, associations, optical illusions, colour versus grey schemes and scale) • symbols (changing geometry of symbols –what does it change, impact of signature types on information perception, power of an arrow) • generalisation (of inscriptions, abbreviations, generalisation stages, changes of projections – units and geometric forms, MMU, reclassification, relativism-an example of city centre and city outskirt communication scheme) • date of data acquisition and date of printing – problem of manipulation. Exerscise 1: • comparison of data from orthophotomap with data from other maps • creation of a few images of the same area but in varied scales, map projections, different generalization methods, with the use of contrasting colours and/or symbols • Discussion over results. 2. Does a map deform a real world? • What impact does a scale change has on an information perception? • World projections (distortions), • Should a map be north or south orienting? What is a difference? • 2D or 3D – that is a question, • Aerial photographs and orthophotomaps as a real world pictures versus model • Manual and digital maps – possibilities, dangers (tools that help creating maps, digitalization mistakes or faults – a comparison based on aerial surface measurement). Continuation of exercise 1. 3. Relativism in data presentation • Types of maps • Subjective presentation of relative data: cartograms (use of veriables: time, cost, distance, power of statistics, relative and nonrelative data), cartodiagrams • Chorochromatic maps • Isoplet maps Excercise 2: presentation of the same data but with the use of various methods – discussion of results 4. Map as a conscience way of psychological manipulation • Political reasons (propaganda), ideological (religious), economical (greed), content-related (incompetence, carelessness) • Is cartography a science or an art? – types of cartography, many ways of presenting the same reality • Mental map Excercise 3: mental map versus a map for special purposes 5. Development maps - subjectivity or manipulation • Plans od spatial development. • City visualisation (eg. developer’s advertisement) • 11 rules of polishing the cartographic image (be selective, frame strategically, accentuate the positive, if caught have a story ready – ideological manipulation, minimize the negative, dazzle with detail, camouflage embarrassing details, distract with aerial photos and historical maps, generalize creatively, enchant with elegance, When all else fails, try bribery). Continuation of exercise 3. |
