Summer, 2005. In this quarter’s Society for News Design Journal, Catherine Farley, deputy graphics director at the Toronto Star newspaper, discussed how the newspaper’s graphics department used MAPublisher and Adobe Illustrator to quickly and easily produce maps for the 2004 US and Canadian federal elections.
“We knew we were on to something when election night editors were using our proofs as road maps for their stories…..We also knew we would not have time to color the map manually so we used MAPublisher to automate the process.”
