Cartographic Design Style Guide 2017

This document will serve to provide CGIS as an overview cartographic design style guide which helps explain the project Design, Develop and Implement Cartographic Standards and Symbology for the Maps of the State of Qatar completed in 2017. Gannett Fleming explains how the new system looks and works as a complete package. Here we describe the background research and development behind the software involved. When looking to update the cartographic design style, all of the information contained within this guide should be considered before any style changes are implemented. Contact: Dr. Hazem Barakat, Project Director and MENA Business Development Manager

Cartographic Design Style Guide 2017

Our Map Style Strategic planning has enabled a new cartographic design style for the State of Qatar, which covers five different extents (scales) intended to be reproduced in print and online.

These design principles cover reproduction from ESRI ArcGIS Desktop and Online.

In the print edition: 1. Five extents of maps including 1:5k; 1:20k; 1:50k; 1:100k and 1:200k 2. Five information sections including Features; Administrative; Built Environment; Amenities and Landbase 3. All classifications are available in the title block key

In the online edition: 1. Seamless zoom-able levels Figure 1 (left): ESRI ArcGIS Desktop on an iMac. All text is available in Arabic & English, Arabic only and English Only. Figure 2 (above): ESRI ArcGIS Mobile on an iPhone. All text is available in Arabic & English.

2. Limited information sections, adapted for public use

Our Title Block This is the 1:20,000 map. In the title block, the language is in Arabic (Qatar) and English (US). The key is not automated using the Legend tool in ArcGIS, but all elements have been created in ArcGIS and are available in 1:5,000 Arabic & English (US), Arabic only and English (US) only. All elements have been created in Arabic & English. The inset map of Qatar shows the location of the main map and is automatic. As you pan around the map content the red square reflects this viewpoint. Below, is the The Centre for Geographic Information Systems - Ministry of Municipality & Environment (CGIS-MME) logo. This must never be removed or altered. The correct logo is explained on the next page. Figure 15 (left): Page size : A0 : 1189 x 841 mm Figure 16 (above): Better performance on Seiko ColorPainter W-64 (or similar), with 12 ink cartridges and on uncoated or coated stock

The last box in the title block is the most important and ensures consistency. The coordinate System is QND 1995 Qatar National Grid and scale bar is in meters, using Transverse Mercator projection (Datum: QND 1995). All of this information is displayed in Arabic and English. The inset extent is in bold and is automatically reflects the main map. The date is also automatic and will reflect today’s date. Please do not remove the North arrow and keep the A0 bold text in the right bottom corner for easy reference with multiple sheets.

Do not move or adapt since this shows all the information available at this particular scale. We have made this as easy as possible to use this basemap.

Our Fonts Times New Roman in Arabic (Qatar) and Verdana in English (US).

Figure 18 (left): Font Times New Roman in Arabic (Qatar)

The Times New Roman is a serif font commissioned by the British newspaper The Times in 1931 and designed

Figure 19 (right): Font Verdana in English (US)

Times New Roman is still very common in book and general printing, as a serif typeface. Through distribution

by Stanley Morison, an advisor to the British branch of the printing equipment company Monotype, in collaboration with Victor Lardent, an artist in the Times’ advertising department. Although no longer used by The Times, as a standard computer font, it displays Arabic in a clear and familiar way. The Verdana font family consists of four TrueType fonts created specifically to address the challenges of onscreen display. Designed by world renowned type designer Matthew Carter, and hand-hinted by leading hinting expert, Agfa Monotype’s Tom Rickner, these sans serif fonts are unique examples of type design for the computer screen and work well in English, giving the text a contemporary feel. Both of these fonts are available on every Windows machine and can be used on every Mac, making this combination of fonts versatile and easy to use in ESRI ArcGIS Desktop.

Our MXD When using the basemap for your own maps, we have kept the same sections in the Legend as in the Table of Contents, both in Arabic (Qatar) and English (US). You can switch on / off each layer and add further data in Table of Contents, but don’t forget to update your Legend too. Figure 21 (left): 1:20,000 MXD showing the ESRI ArcGIS Desktop 10.3 interface. This file works well in ArcGIS Desktop 10.2, too.

Our Colorways Using international color standard Pantone, we have created a purpose built color chart for each extent. This used in the points of interest; text; patterns and solid polygons. There are more colors in the basemap which compliment the colour guide on the left. Please use only the colors on the left-hand page, as they have been color-matched for online and in print.

Figure 22 (left): Use the colorways on the left when choosing colors for points of interest. Figure 23 (above): Use the latest Pantone Colour Swatch Book for colour matching between screen and print.
