The first basemap was a riff on the Firefly basemap, intended to provide a satellite image base to provide the context of landcover and topography, but darkened and desaturated so data overlay colors would not compete with, or have their visual interpretation degraded by, the full-color of the source imagery. I recently had the honor and good fortune to work with the design team at Vizzuality to create two basemaps for a globe application created for the Half-Earth Project. Occasionally I’m invited to help facilitate a small portion of the team’s vision. One of the many lavish pleasures of map-making is the opportunity to meet and collaborate with amazing teams doing fascinating work.
