North is a societal construct: when to break the rules with your map
“We use maps to navigate, inform and tell stories. Sometimes, the cartographic principles we learned in grade school should be pushed aside in favor of a presentation that guides our audience’s understanding of a story. Whether it’s following the path of a natural event like the 2017 eclipse, mapping a watershed or when limited by the layout of your design medium, sometimes we opt for a non-north-up presentation. This session will deconstruct examples of Washington Post maps that break the north-up rule and explain the reasoning for deviating from the norms.”
