John Nelson

John Nelson works in the Content team at Esri, pushing and pulling data in all sorts of absurd ways -and then talking about it. He has far too much fun looking for ways to understand and present data visually, hopefully driving product strategy and engaging users. It's a great website to learn how to create an awesome map within the ArcGIS pro.

Cartography and Visualization

Maps are powerful visual tools, both for communicating ideas and for facilitating data exploration. In this course, you will learn design principles and techniques for creating maps with contemporary mapping tools, including ArcGIS Pro. In this lab-focused course, you'll apply cartographic theory to practical problems, with a focus on design decisions such as selecting visual variables, classifying and generalizing data, applying principles of color and contrast, and choosing projections for maps.
