I'm a map & dataviz designer. Cartography & design tutorials is something I've done for quite some time. On this channel, You will find some of my tutorials and how-to videos for cartography, map, and dataviz design. I use GIS software, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, hand-drawn techniques, and some coding. We've all used RUclips for a nudge or hint, or even a full-scale tutorial. I wanted to start sharing some content in this marvelous learning community.
Visualizing the Cause of Wildfires
(Updated version). This data comes from the National Interagency Fire Center historic wildland fire open data. Prescription burns were removed from this dataset for the purpose of this map, along with fire records showing no cause of ignition, since cause was a large part of this map’s design. Although the dataset includes Hawaii and Alaska, they were removed for this particular map. This map was created for the purpose of educating in animated cartography and mapping only, and should not be used otherwise. I will be pursuing the entire dataset, including prescription burns, Alaska, and Hawaii. Thank you for viewing. If you liked the previously posted version of this map, please give this...

What if a Human Spun the Earth like a Desk Globe? After Effects for a spinning globe
Просмотров 69511 месяцев назад
I wanted to do a simple tutorial for how to spin a globe in After Effects. But instead I created my own world map, added space dust and stars, and gave the globe a spinning effect as if a human were spinning a small globe sitting on their desk. In the next few weeks, I will release a small series of short tutorials describing how I made each element of this animation. Stay tuned for the first o...

This is How I Place Files in Adobe Illustrator. A Mapmaker's Approach.
Просмотров 635Год назад
Start at 6:35 for the super basic demo, but start at 0:00 if you want the why - also if you like to understand maps and mapmaking. Placing files in Illustrator is a great way to maintain file organization and keep file sizes nice and small. This video shows how to place files in Illustrator, and I share a little about the nuances of placing files in InDesign as well. There are reasons you may w...

3D Spheres in Illustrator is Easier Than You Think!
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.Год назад
In a few quick steps, learn how to make vector shadows and light rendering in Adobe Illustrator. Make realistic 3D spheres that pop. As a mapmaker, I apply this technique to a globe of Earth, but this technique isn't just for maps. It can be applied to any circle that graphic designers want to convert into a sphere.
Adobe Illustrator: Adding Holes to Your Shapes

Learn how to create donut holes in your path and shapes using the Adobe Illustrator Pathfinder tool. I will be using a map as an example. This tip can be used by any graphic designer, not just mapmakers and cartographers. This vector artist trick takes about 30 seconds to do, so your mapping and design workflows are quick and fun. Enjoy!
Six Versions of Same Map. A mapmaker's modern-day exploration of aesthetics
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.3 года назад
A few years ago, I was exploring mapping styles, and used the same extent of the Pacific Northwest for the mapping exploration. This region happens to include the place where I call home. An antique version, topo, pop art, 1950s tricolor, and two versions of an art deco style. I encourage anyone who wants to get into cartography to explore mapping a place they love!

Use Illustrator Blend Tool in Your Maps: Building footprint shadows
Просмотров 26 тыс.4 года назад
In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the Adobe Illustrator Blend tool to hack building footprint shadows. Making maps in Illustrator is fantastic, as many mappers use it as their go-to cartography tool!
Appreciate the videos. I'm trying to break into using Illustrator more to support my GIS work and these have been really helpful to see what's possible.
Incredible map animation. I am a climber and am a GIS professional, and I've been curious about how I can integrate these two passions of mine. Thanks for the inspo
Sarah: Elegant work. I'll show it to students in my course, Plagues, Pollutants and Poverty.
Thank you!
This is really nice. Is the visual part of this open licensed for reuse/derivation?
Thanks for the nice comment! No, my maps and animations are not available for reuse or derivation, since they are my bread and butter. I appreciate you asking. I do other work, like font creation, that is available via Creative Commons. You can find them on sarahbellmaps.com
Very cool video and beautiful map! I'm curious where you got the eclipse path data?? Thank you!
Ready to be your student on any online course or buy your book!
Thanks! Very kind words. I’m inching towards the course creation.
As a GIS analyst that's new to adobe illustrator, this is mind blowing. I would love to see more content like this. Thanks for the video!
Thanks James. I hope you are enjoying Illustrator. I would love more time for making these videos. I manage to put them out as often as time allows - it is a passion outside of my normal work hours. Glad you liked it!
Very nice and clean work Sarah, thank you for sharing it. Can we know when this textbook would be ready to be out for us to buy?
can't wait for the tutorials :)
I hope to get the first one out by next week 🙂
Beautiful!
Thanks!
always wanted this....thanks
Marvelous! <3
What projection did you use to create the initial map? Was that with ArcGIS or the CC extension?
The projection is called The World From Space, and I made it in ArcGIS Pro and exported it as an AIX file then styled in Illustrator 😊
Cool, thanks.
What is your map data source for the oceans and land relief? Is it from the Living Atlas? I can't find any shaded relief on the Living Atlas that excludes the oceans. I assume the blue globe circle is a copy of the clipping mask.
Hâte de découvrir
Stunning and impactful. Looking forward to the tutorial!
Thank you!
This stuff is so cool. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
Super
Thank you!
Vous faites un super travail merci
great work.. The sound effects such as the rhythmic tic-tac accompanying the day steps,the growing charts, and water drop effect on each death added a captivating touch. Well done!
Gorgeous map! And nice styling, including the music. 4d cartography. I’m in no way criticizing. This is awesome but tilt and zoom would be a nice addition. And that’s the kind of thing in After Effects that’s beyond me.
Thank you! The music turned out to be a good fit - thanks Coma Media for making it available under an open license. After Effects is my new favorite mapmaking tool. :)
Love your techniques.
Tremendous work. Do you any tutorial about how to make this?
Thank you! I’m going to put together a little tutorial in about a month or so. It won’t dig too far into the details, but I am going to outline the workflow so people can get started.
@@SarahBell Thanks you very much.
@@SarahBell I would be interested in knowing how each program contributied to the final result. For instance, how did each of these contribute to the end result and why were they needed? ArcGIS Pro ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Adobe Illustrator Adobe After Effects
@@timjohnston7958 I'm happy to share how each app played a role! I'll be doing a tutorial in about a month - not diving into how to build this particular map though, but an overview. In short, ArcGIS Pro for the GIS analysis and exporting as an AIX. I also started the bar chart in Pro too. ArcGIS Maps for Adobe for opening and unpackaging the AIX in Illustrator. Maps for Adobe allowed me to open the map with the bar chart. Illustrator for graphic design (also stylizing the original Snow basemap). Then After Effects for animation.
@@SarahBell Where are the fatalities WITH datum available? All source-files I know just have lat/lon and number of deaths, but no datum, when thisdeath did occur. Thx.
Awesome content thanks Sarah
Thank you! <3
Sarah, I am so glad I found your videos again. I love maps! I do graphic design as well as teach land navigation to rescue teams and am always looking for ways to improve my maps. You are an inspiration to me for sure! I would love to see more tips, tricks and videos from you. I love your enthusiasm and mapping style. Keep up the great work!!!!
Thanks, Marcus! I appreciate your kinds words and encouragement. I'm currently trying to carve out more time for more videos like this.
Thanks sarah, i hope to see more of these videos.
Thanks Ibrahim!
could you please make a tutorial for arcGIS?
I loved your tutorial
Thank you, Antonio.
Wow, Learnt so much from this tutorial, thank you so much, Sarah !
How did you get the building shapes? can u import form shapefiles to illustrator?
Yes, you can import shape files into Illustrator with a plug-in called ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud. There are other ways as well, such as exporting a map from a GIS software. The plug-in is very convenient though.
Hi Sarah, great video. I have a question : how did you get the vector layer of all the buildings ? Did you import it from Arcgis ? or created it manually in illustrator ? thanks !
If you use ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud, you can search for online building data directly via the plug-in (while in Illustrator). You can also export a file, such as AIX or AI, from a GIS software after adding the buildings to the GIS map. AIX is a format that you can create with ArcGIS Pro, and this file format can be opened in Illustrator if you have the Maps for Adobe plug-in. Highly recommend!!
please show us how you made hill shade on that map
Smart ..Very smart
Great!
Beautiful! I especially love the last two. Could you write a list of the layers used and where to find them?
It's been so long, I cannot recall all the data layers, but I think I relied a lot on an esri dataset for federal lands and the USGS hydrology dataset for all things hydro.
Hey, This video is amazing actually researching how to create 3D maps for a personal project from vintage maps, is there any way this can be done with software?
really useful thank you Sarah
awesome!!
I'm so stoked I've stumbled across you/your work! Very inspiring, and I have already downloaded and put your Belltopo font to use! Thanks for sharing all of this.
Every map is superb. What did you use for the hillside?
Thanks, the resolution is not super, but I'm ok with that :) The full print maps are nice and crisp. I used th World Hillshade layer available on ArcGIS online for these particular maps. I edited that layer a bit for these maps.
Great maps! Although I have a question unrelated to cartography in a way. Why are there so many more counties in the eastern USA as opposed to the west?
Have you done a tutorial on how you color your hillshade?
Yes, there are a few I put out there :-) You can find the graphite tutorial here: petrichor.studio/2018/10/22/drawing-hillshade-shaded-relief-with-time-lapse-video-demos/ And you can find the color pencil tutorial here!: www.sarahbellmaps.com/drawing-color-hillshade-a-tutorial-with-time-lapse-videos/
Hi, Can you explain your process a bit more? Did you just have a photo copy of hillshade to start with?
Thanks for the question. Yes, I’d be happy to! I wrote this blog post on how I do the color version, and it links to my blog post on how I do the graphite version. bit.ly/drawingcolorhillshade Both posts are step-by-step tutorials with videos. I recommend beginning with the graphite/pencil tutorial. Please let me know if you have trouble finding it. Thanks!
@@SarahBell Thanks! looks very in-depth - Any chance you have any good tutorials on the new Processes features in M4CC? For some reason, I have found that symbol replacement when syncing into Illustrator a bit confusing and cumbersome, and also am curious about the other features. Thank you.
even your choropleths are something else 😃
This is great! Thank you
You're welcome. Thanks!
That shooting star took me straight back to elementary school. Great video, easy to follow and demystifies Illustrator a bit. Please make more!
Totally!
Wonderful!
Caught this after the fact, but this was really great! I do a lot of my GIS team's cartography and am always looking for illustrator how-to's, can't get enough of them. thank you Sarah, i am definitely going to be trying these techniques out.
This was great, thank you Sarah! I am new to mapping software and I was curious how you got your land/water polygon...did you trace that by hand? Is there a shortcut to create a polygon around something on a basemap/vector layer?
VictoriaJarvis great question! I used raw map data that I pulled into Illustrator, so it turns into vector artwork. Have you checked out ArcGIS Maps for Adobe? It’s an Illustrator extension that you can download for free. It gives you access to a lot of free data (vector map info). If you pay a small monthly fee you get access to even more data. Check out esriurl.com/sarahbell I wrote a few blog posts there to get started. Version 2.0 is coming out in the next week or so too!
@@SarahBell Thanks! I can't find that extension for my older (5.1) version of Illustrator. But I'm glad to know about for when I can get a new computer that could handle a software upgrade, sounds handy! I found some vector data resources to try your shoreline effect (which I love).
cool
thanks!
Gracias
De nada. Gracias por visualizar mi video!
