One of the many lavish pleasures of map-making is the opportunity to meet and collaborate with amazing teams doing fascinating work. Occasionally I\u2019m invited to help facilitate a small portion of the team\u2019s vision. I recently had the honor and good fortune to work with the design team at Vizzuality<\/a> to create two basemaps for a globe application created for the Half-Earth Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Firefly Basemap<\/h1>\n

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. Firefly<\/a> is a helpful conveyance for data sets that benefit from the context of imagery but have inherent thematic colors. We iterated on the look of this basemap, starting with several more ostentatious early prototypes, as one does, then refining into something that best honors the data that would live atop it.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":618942,"id":618942,"title":"FireflyProcess_Early","filename":"FireflyProcess_Early.jpg","filesize":299269,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FireflyProcess_Early.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/creating-the-half-earth-vibrant-basemap\/fireflyprocess_early","alt":"","author":"6971","description":"","caption":"An early prototype of the Firefly-like basemap.","name":"fireflyprocess_early","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":618922,"date":"2019-10-01 16:59:15","modified":"2019-10-01 16:59:48","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1920,"height":1040,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FireflyProcess_Early-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FireflyProcess_Early.jpg","medium-width":464,"medium-height":251,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FireflyProcess_Early.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":416,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FireflyProcess_Early.jpg","large-width":1920,"large-height":1040,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FireflyProcess_Early.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":832,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FireflyProcess_Early.jpg","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1040,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FireflyProcess_Early-826x447.jpg","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":447,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FireflyProcess_Early-1920x1040.jpg","wide_image-width":1920,"wide_image-height":1040}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FireflyProcess_Early.jpg"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

The design of the globe experience required that the vibrant basemap begin at the rich saturated state, then smoothly transition into full standard imagery when zoomed in. I created a layer group in ArcGIS Pro for each of these zoom levels and set each group\u2019s visibility to the range of the web map tile service.

Rainforest Patch<\/h2>\n

Greta Carrete Vega, a scientist at Vizzuality, noted along the way that areas of dense rainforest weren\u2019t being represented as the darker lush areas that they truly are. While this globe wasn\u2019t intended as a literal example of the earth\u2019s surface, we did want to be true to the overall scale of densely forested areas and hoped to boost their visual impression to our audience. This was an interesting question to tackle because we were working from a pre-existing data layer and imagery. Tweaking the colors of sub-sets of this blend seemed at first a real puzzle. The collaborative chats we had about options and overlays was a real joy, I have to say, and we landed at something that was both visually effective, and straightforward (my favorite combination). By pulling in a global landcover image service<\/a>, we could isolate the range of landcover that needed boosting, and add that in as a complimentary overlay.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":619132,"id":619132,"title":"RainforestPatch","filename":"RainforestPatch.jpg","filesize":41389,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/10\/RainforestPatch.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/creating-the-half-earth-vibrant-basemap\/rainforestpatch","alt":"","author":"6971","description":"","caption":"An

Hillshade<\/h2>\n

The bathymetric colors of the oceans is probably the second most important bit of content lending to the overall look of the globe.

Collaboration<\/h1>\n

Thanks to the Half-Earth project<\/a> and the wonderful team at Vizzuality<\/a> for the fantastic experience of fun and collaborative cartography. Please do check out their work.<\/p>\n

Also, somewhat relatedly, early in the process of creating this basemap I reached out to Esri\u2019s 3D guru, Raluca Nicola<\/a>, to play with ideas that came up relating to making another fantastical 3D earth that we would want to reach out and touch. So please check out her beautiful globe and how-to<\/a>, as well, and get the scoop on the tech used to make it. This is the fun of maps and collaboration. Each map, and the ideas it triggers, spawns even more fun and interesting maps. Who\u2019s got it better than geographers??<\/p>\n

Happy Mapping!

I work in the ArcGIS Living Atlas team at Esri, pushing and pulling data in all sorts of absurd ways and then sharing the process. I also design user experiences for maps and apps. When I'm not doing those things, I'm chasing around toddlers and wrangling chickens, and generally getting into other ad-hoc adventures. Life is good.
