Birvariate Choropleth Map
Thematic Mapping
The objective of bivariate maps are to simultaneously demonstrate two related variables. Each variable is assigned a color, usually and primary color (red, and blue presented here). The degree of correlation between the variables is represented by the mixing of these two colors. The advantage of bivariate maps is that in addition to showing the degree of correlation between variables, they also where these variables are most correlated (presented here in purple).

Cartography Capstone Project
Mapping Quantitative Data
The purpose of this poster was to pick a set of symbology types which best communicate the information behind a chosen research topic. This particular topic mainly required showing the tabulated population totals for a given region. Graduated symbols were chosen to represent this information as they give a good visual indication of relative numbers for a particular region or place. This poster was designed with the aim of delivering the most information to viewer as possible. As such, the cartographic elements are aided by charts and text to further summarize the project findings.

Isometric Map
Environmental Data | Mapping Continuous Data
This example compares precipitation and temperature over a given area. Considering that precipitation and temperature are continuous data (data with no boundaries, smoothly changing over an area), an Isarithmic map was chosen to visualize the data. In this type of map, isolines are used to show regions of similar value.

Project Presentation Poster
Combination of Cartographic Methods
This poster was designed for a Capstone project carried out as part of the BGIS Program at SAIT. This poster uses a combination of maps and cartographic methods in efforts to summarize the work and findings of the project.
