How to design a beautiful map

Felt offers a tool designed to help users create visually appealing and functional maps by applying key design techniques. The process begins with selecting a compelling story and maintaining focus to ensure clarity and relevance for the audience. Emphasizing visual hierarchy, important elements should capture attention in the foreground while the background provides subtle context. Users can enhance maps with curated data layers and should aim for a harmonious color palette to avoid clutter. Familiar symbols improve legibility, and applying principles like the rule of thirds and balance can enhance the map's aesthetic. For sharing, users can generate links tailored to specific views and customize embedded map sizes, all while embracing creativity and collaboration.
