Figmasset: A Missing Map Tool - Stephanie May & Kelsey Taylor
Anyone who has ever designed map icons for web maps knows the challenge of simultaneously needing to see what you are creating up close, and within the context of the map. Figmasset bridges this impossible gap, allowing designers to create vector graphics in Figma, export them in seconds to a sprite sheet consumable by Mapbox GL, and view them on a map. It has never been easier to design custom road shields, points of interest icons, or map markers. In this interactive workshop, we'll show you how it's done.
This presentation was made at the 2022 annual meeting of the North American Cartographic Information Society (NACIS). For more information on NACIS, check out NACIS.org.
