浅谈地图设计中的美学研究与实践

Aesthetic Research and Practice of Map Design

随着各种专业制图软件在地图制图中的广泛应用,计算机自动化地图制图正逐步代替手工制图,缩短了制图周期,提高了生产效率。然而,与传统纸质地图相比,电子地图的符号、色彩、版式并没有大的视觉改变,有的甚至还没有手工地图新颖美观。以贵阳市基础地理信息统一平台推出的"每月一图"为例,从符号、色彩、整体设计等方面探讨了地图设计中的美学研究与实践,并提出了关于如何提高地图美学设计的观点。

At present,with the wide application of various professional mapping software in map mapping,computer automated map mapping is gradually replacing manual map mapping,which could shorten the mapping cycle and improve the production efficiency.However,the symbols,colors and layout of maps do not have great visual changes compared with traditional paper maps,and some of them are not even as novel and beautiful as manual maps.In this paper,taking the"monthly map"introduced by Guiyang unified basic geographical information platform for example,we discussed the aesthetic research and practice of map design from several aspects of symbol,color and overall design,and put forward several views on how to improve the map aesthetic design.
