Maps are the most visible products of a GIS and often the most effective way to present GIS information. With modern GIS tools, many map creation tasks have become highly automated. But automation can never substitute for experienced cartographic design, especially for maps that must reach a wide audience via printed or online publication. 

For mapping needs that go beyond the ordinary, consider what the King County GIS Center can offer you:

The Right Medium
The King County GIS Center is equipped to provide a wide range of cartographic products, from screen-optimized maps for the World Wide Web, to high-resolution color laser and inkjet prints, to richly detailed offset-printed maps."go to top of page" button


The Right Tools
GIS Center publication maps represent the best traditions of cartographic science and art achieved through the combined use of modern GIS, digital illustration, graphic design, and publication tools."go to top of page" button


The Right Experience
Highly skilled and experienced individuals from diverse backgrounds in spatial analysis, mapping, graphic design, technical writing, and publishing can handle your cartographic display and/or publishing project from start to finish -- from concept development and data collection, to cartographic and publication design and production, to image optimization for various output and display media.
And when the highest-quality hard-copy map products are needed, and certainly when a very large quantity of copies of the final product is required,  the GIS Center can coordinate and supervise offset printing."go to top of page" button


The Right Value
Agencies and businesses often resort to graphic design firms when a map is needed. But seldom, if ever, would they find the combination of tools, skills, and experience that the GIS Center comprises. That, plus an hourly rate that is very competitive with the rates charged by commercial design firms, means that the GIS Center can offer the best value in map design and production. "go to top of page" button
