So pleased to see this IRL and already out there supporting cyclists across Colchester! It was great to team up with Colchester City Council to develop the map, as well as bespoke school editions. Thanks to Rachael Partis and Dennis Maps LTD for their services pulling it all together.

Thanks for the complimentary write up on the new cycle map! Following with interest to see what users make of it too - it’s been a pleasure working with Colchester City Council to develop it. @eventmapsclare.bsky.social

We’ve got some in our garden and I’m terrified to go near them! But now I know it’s just the leaves maybe I’ll admire the flowers a bit more…

I’ll be at Esri UK tomorrow supporting @bcsmaps.bsky.social and hopefully meeting lots of people who love maps and geo-data visualisation 🌍❤️ Find out more about what the BCS does and how we can support you to make better maps! #community #excellence #mapping #GeoViz #esriukac #cartography

North arrow - oops. It was probably added in the DTP package like InDesign, rather than the map software, for example Illustrator, so when the map rotated, the frame didn’t…

Event Maps Latest: a trail map for a nature area to enhance the wayfinding experience and encourage visitors to explore the recent improvements. Great data from the client allowed me to style up the various land coverage to invoke a more natural feel to the map and create some bespoke iconography.

I’ve often been the solo cartographer on projects and have wished I could duplicate myself to get thru the tasks in front of me… but I managed so far without a clone, so I guess I’m OK! However I now have this blue print for when the technology allows - she might need a larger screen though 🖥️ 🤣

Very interesting map that shows closed services as a way to encourage readers to protest against the changes. We’re familiar with using closed sections for Wayfinding in complex pedestrian areas, but I haven’t seen it employed across such extensive routes before. #design #protest #voices #community

Thanks for sharing this. Great find. Love the planes and smaller shadows too, some lovely design additions to such a unique map.

Thanks. Yeah I’m chuffed that I’ve rescued it, and can preserve it for the future.

I’ve added my own label on my Google maps for that so it comes up as “Gulf of Mexico (not America)” when clicked 🤣

I immediately went to the legend as I wouldn’t know where to start on the map! …line missing?

Just rewatched Matilda the Musical and spotted the map! See left inside the Mobile Library when Matilda rushes out. It was acquired on pinboards from a reuse site - from the Studios!! Amazing to think of all the art created for film and TV that may only get 0.1s on screen #mapsinthewild #reuse #art

A few exciting updates… 🪪 My new business cards have arrived ❤️ 🗺️ I’m working with a great team in Canada and love seeing my maps at workshops! 🧶 We got the Guinness world record for our Postbox Toppers (I made the map too!) which made over £30k for charity. Not a bad start to the year 🥰

Very proud to help launch the St Albans Postbox 📮 toppers initiative alongside St Albans MP Daisy Cooper. My maps were made to help promote the event with the aim of increasing donations to the two chosen charities this year. Do please donate if you can lnkd.in/e8RF-npu

I just joined bsky so this is perfect!! Testing it out to potentially move British Cartographic Society over too… are the other societies here? Nacis, ICA, etc? Please add me as I’m starting as a freelance this month too so will be great to make more connections here. Thank you!
