I am based in Munich, Bavaria. My profession is in Geoinformatics and Cartography. I have a particular interest in map production from OSM-Data with a focus on vector formats that allow the creation of maps on paper. Another interest consist in the usage of OSM-Data for thematic visualisations, either as source of information or as base map to visualise open data.

Within the scope of a research project at Munich University of Applied Sciences I developed a map style with Maperitive. The aim was to print the map on an A3 paper. For technical reasons no dark or saturated colours were used for areas and the labels in the map must not be black. Blue was chosen instead. To get to the final print result a significant amount of postprocessing in Inkscape had to be done. This Maperitive style however could be a good starting point for everybody who likes to design a map for printing. Therefore you can find the rules-file below.
The Rules-file:
