The course focuses on the thematic cartography and map design. Students have to learn general cartographic principles and apply them to the particular tasks of map design (making maps). Most of the map design is held in ArcGIS software, but also desktop publishing software is used with an emphasis on the graphic design of produced maps. The course is also aimed at acquiring basic knowledge about data processing and choosing proper methods of cartographic visualization. Course completion is done by verifying the practical skills via thematic poster map, which is made by each student and focuses selected topics.
