Peter King

I am a skilled cartographer, spatial developer and QGIS superuser with a passion for open source and open data. I lead the Analysis and Visualisation Squad at Toitū Te Whenua - Land Information New Zealand, and love the cartography and FOSS4G community here in Aotearoa. I may also be slightly obsessed with the Montserrat font, a turquoise and orange colour palette, and board games.

Cut the clutter - clean and clear cartography
Peter King

People love to throw everything including the kitchen sink onto their maps mistakenly thinking more information is better. This leads to a mental burden, making the map harder to read and putting some readers off entirely. This talk will cover designing maps which are clear, uncluttered and support the viewer.
