Creation of a map is not only a technical process, but involves many subjective factors of its designers. Thus, to the designers, realizing and answering the question, how to design a map to satisfy the cognitive characteristics of its readers, is the key of guiding a map creation. Additionally, to map’s readers, they are best entitled to judge the quality of a map and gives feedbacks as to making changes of a map so to make it better meet the requirements of its readers, such as easier reading and understanding and more availability of information, etc.  \nThe article,based on theories of visual communication design of map, from the perspectives of Theory of Communication and Aesthetics, studies systematically the patterns of cognition and visual perception of maps by their designers and readers.  \nKey words: Visual communication , Aesthetics , Visual transmission  \n1. Introduction  \nCity mapping develops rapidly and good maps are constantly emerging. There are the city's comprehensive atlas, city image atlas ,city thematic atlas,as shown in the list. The recent 10 years have seen that city map design and mapping technology in China have made significant progress. Especially those city atlases of Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai and Zhuhai have abundant information, novel forms, vivid expression, advanced technology, exquisite printing. Their quality can compete with those made in developed countries of the world. We found that the artistic designs of these atlases are more accord with readers’visualcognitive characteristics than ever before.  \nMap design is not just a technical process but also affected by the designer's subjective factors. Therefore, a map designer has to know how a map can accord with readers'cognitive characteristics perfectly.  \n2. Definition of the Design for Vision Communication  \nDesign for vision communication is a subject which is deeply impacted by western culture and the study of communication, a subject on the study of vision and its application. It emphasizes the behavior of the sender and the receiver during the process of information transfer, the role of information to the user, and the effect of information transfer.  \nThe reason that we introduced the concept is: Under the traditional mapping conditions, map users just passively accept the objective world mapped according to map designer's own understanding. Under digital mapping condition, map users can use various mapping software to extract data from the database and interactively produce maps according to their own needs. In another words, the way of map usage has changed from visual transmission to visual thinking, from public to private, from low-levelinteraction to high-levelinteraction between cartographic workers and the map users.In addition, with the new technology penetrated into the traditional cartography, map design and map production are no longer a patent of professional educated map scholar's. It is of vital significance to integrate the mapping with map usage.  \n3. Theory of Map Visual Communication Design  \nTo analyze person's vision, we should study from the visual physiology, visual psychology, visual process and visual thinking:  \n1）Visual physiology  \nThe human vision has the following main features: eye adaptability, contrast sensitivity,certain resolution limit, Mach ability,visual inertia  \n2）Visual psychology  \nPeople's vision is affected by psychological impact. Vision is not a simple passive copy of the immediate physical object but also a kind of positive activities  \n3）Visual process  \nIn the design for vision communication field, the visual process is the process of accepting visual symbols and interpreting the information from within.  \n4）Visual thinking  \nResearches show that all kinds of psychological process in thinking proces","cbCaihG72NhS17uD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihG72NhS17uD","pdf",431623,10,"English","# 1.
