1.0 INTRODUCTION
Cartography, the art of the science of graphically representing a geographical area, usually
on a flat surface such as a map or chart. It may involve the superimposition of political,

6.0 CONCLUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION

6.1 CONCLUSSION
For my experience in lab subject for this semester, I grateful to the Allah S.W.T because I
have learned this quite thoughtfully subject but our lecturer which is Madam Hafizah was
guiding us in very patiently and very understanding for teaches and waiting the result from
us. Besides that, we get the new knowledge for create the map by using the MapInfo besides
the ArcMap which is the software we use last semester. We gain the new knowledge for the
process to produce a map by using our own creativity.
Next our second task is developing the posture using by Adobe Illustrator and the lecturer
was show us the examples and previous result by our senior and to some extent our creativity
and we get explore about this graphic design apps. So, we have keep in touch with Madam
besides we refers the slides lab tutorial. Other than that, we get give the information to the
readers by using the symbol and details in our map or posture

6.2 RECOMMENDATION
For me personally this task lab report is a perfect task such as the maximum page is 10 page
but I think this report not to be submitted in hardcopy because if we print this report have a
colour page number its need high cost which is print the result of the map in A3 size pepper
but I don’t think the others details in this report for to be improved because this is a simple
individual task and then the lecturer don’t mind for us to do a discussion for write the lab
report together and this is all from me thank you to our beloved Madam Hafizah.
