I'm in the publications and graphic design department of the Northern Territory Geological Survey (Australia). Although I don't have a cartography background (a degree in politics and journalism!) I've been doing a lot of work in Illustrator CS2 and MapInfo creating figures for our publications and have found CartoTalk to be a great source of advice and scripts. I just downloaded Nick's 'Select Text Attributes' script for Illustrator and it's tip top. Anything that automates the process, I'm interested!
Cheers,

Hi Kath, and welcome to Cartotalk.
If you like Nick's script, keep an eye out for Nathaniel Vaughn Kelso's work. He's previewed a text-selection-by-attributes script/plugin that is just awesome. I believe it's due in early 2009.

Not only that, but I have a notion that there have been a bunch of female new members lately, to weigh up the tilted gender-balance - at least among the regulars.

Interests:I am a Cartographer with varied experience. I work primarily as a freelancer. In my freelancing career I have worked with Maps.com, Designmaps.com, 3dmaps and various other map making and cartography sites.
I have varied software experience, however I use almost all the Cartography and quite a few GIS software, Illustrator, Freehand, Adobe Photoshop and Mapinfo to be precise. I have also worked on Microstation and other Intergraph software including Stereo Photogrammetry on ZI Photo Suites. The other software that I utilize for various other tasks specially 3D realism are Global Mapper and Maprenderer 3D.
Global mapper is a versatile software for various conversion and I found Maprenderer 3D for producing stunning 3D images from height data.
I am available for freelance work, right from mundane line digitisation to Illustrator / Freehand Cartography. Just send me a mail at promapper@gmail.com -

The business of Cartography or GIS is male dominated but we sure have a sizable presence. This is probably because in older times surveyers were primarily males, however with the digital cartography more and more of us will be joining, hopefullyNot only that, but I have a notion that there have been a bunch of female new members lately, to weigh up the tilted gender-balance - at least among the regulars.

Welcome Kath—keep an eye out here fo plenty of other tips and inspiration.
Fantastic?!

The Carto team I work for is three and a manager and I'm the only male!
