Project Progress

Evolution of atlas plates and workshop episodes

Tracking the visual outputs, cartographic decisions, and developmental milestones of the UCSB R-Atlas.

Aspect Ratio Guidelines

All outputs from atlas map scripts are standardized to a 3 tall x 4 wide (or 4 tall x 3 wide) aspect ratio for consistent framing, except where multi-panel compositions require custom dimensions (such as Map 7).

Plate Milestones

Map 7: Atlas Page Insets (Maps 3, 4, 5, 6)

The tryptic sequence zooms progressively from the Western United States into the Santa Barbara Channel and Campus:
