Cartography
Cartography is the fine art of map-making. It's where the beauty of art, the eye of graphic design and the exploration of geography all come together. Most maps are fairly clinical, but they still require knowledge of colour and design to make them presentable. And now, we have computer-generated maps and GIS to analyze the data on maps.
