The 64 page book defines the generation development areas (GDA's), using elaborate maps which showed additional information such as topography, and the existing transmission grid. The maps were made with data from various agencies, processed and extracted from a GIS system. These files were made into layered image files. Careful tuning of the colors and effects on those layers permitted complex overlays of data while maintaining the visual clarity of the most important data. |
