My First Vector Basemap

To web mapping, first time creating my own vector basemap. I started learn how to customize vector basemaps from the ArcGis storymap.

The Customizing Esri's Vector Basemaps:

• Part 1: The Basics

• Part 2: Working with Color

• Part 3: Working with Lines

• Part 4: Working with Labels

• Part 5: Working with Sprites

The first step I did was to a create a copy layer maps of the "Community", and open both Vector Style Editor and JSON Code Editor for compare the two editor tools.

Vector Style Editor use a basic editing tool system with the quick access, layer, and color editor. On the other hand, the JSON Code Editor use the JavaScript coding language to formalize every layer and define objects as JavaScript class object with layout, color, and formation. Finally, I choose to edit my vector basemap with Vector Style Editor.

The next step, I start to edit the layer map following the storymap by beginning with the color. When editing, I choose to using the "Edit Layer Styles", and select layer (or object) by click on map for editing the color of the select layer.

Next, I edit the line layer for river and border by change to darker color and increase width.

Then, I use the quick edit to all labels text font to the "La Belle Aurore Regular".

Finally, I add a symbol to the "Icons and Patterns" menu and attached the Icons to the education label layer.

This vector basemap is a fun experience for me, and I'm still not familiar with the web mapping app.
