Maps arenāt just geographic, they are also infographic and include all types of frameworks and diagrams. Any figure that sorts data visually and presents it spatially is a map. Maps are ways of organizing information and figuring out whatās important. Even stories can be mapped! The Secret Language of Maps provides a simple framework to deconstruct existing maps and then shows you how to create your own.
An embedded mystery story about a woman who investigates the disappearance of an old high school friend illustrates how to use different maps to make sense of all types of information. Colorful illustrations bring the story to life and demonstrate how the fictional characterās collection of data, properly organized and āmapped,ā leads her to solve the mystery of her friendās disappearance.
Youāll learn how to gather data, organize it, and present it to an audience. Youāll also learn how to view the many maps that swirl around our daily lives with a critical eye, aware of the forces that are in play for every creator.
