JOSEF ALBERS - The Interaction of Color, 1953 Psycho-physical map design experiments attempted to identify “the creative process is the same secret in science relationships between variations of symbology on a map, and as it is in art” measure how map users perceive these differences. KRAAK 2017 “A strength of cartography might precisely mean to constantly adapt to societal and technological change, without compromis- ing on fundamental cartographic values.” SLOCUM 2005 “Theory-driven cognitive research provides the basis from which a framework for designing methods can be developed.”

Math test scores received an equal weighted IN CREATIVE CLOUD CONCLUSION score as student poverty and graduation rates. This geographic representation refmects the results of reading test scores and graduation rates, which are both lower in urban areas.
