Are there source on the web to make maps look good.
Something to explain Text Style, Color, Layout, line type, etc.
I found this http://colorbrewer2.org/#type=diverging&scheme=BrBG&n=7
And I intend on picking up Cynthia Brewers book too.
Thanks All!
I haven't had a chance to take this, but Esri has a MOOC on that topic.

I took the on-line instructor led Designing Maps class a couple months ago. Really good 2 day class.

Thanks everyone. That class is free great!
one good book every serious cartographer should read is "How to Lie with Maps" by Mark Monmonier.
I took some Adobe InDesign courses at a local community college, and through that software training learned a lot about general graphic design, including stuff like typography, leading, kerning, tracking, RGB vs CMYK, all things that translate directly into good cartographic design.
