John Nelson is known for his unique ability to combine GIS expertise, visual storytelling, and creative cartographic design. As part of the Living Atlas team at Esri, he develops new ways to understand and present geographic data, creating engaging maps and user experiences.
In the lecture Area of Interest Extravaganza – subtitled “taking control and breaking some rules to get maps to look just how you want” – he explores creative techniques for emphasizing the focus area in your maps and building strong visual hierarchies.
You will get a set of practical “recipes” to help you shape maps with clarity and expression. Everything is built step by step—like Lego. The goal is to leave you both inspired and equipped with concrete techniques you can start using right away.
The guest lecture is free and open to students and researchers.
