QGIS Tutorial for beginners // aesthetic map in 15 minutes 🗺️
QGIS looks complicated. But your first beautiful map? 15 minutes away.
My name is Elizaveta Vasiuta, I am an environmental manager based in QLD, Australia.
I remember opening QGIS for the first time and thinking: where should I start?
So I made this tutorial to show you that it's easier than it looks.
In this video you'll learn how to:
✅ Pull free data using QuickOSM
✅ Build layers — water, parks, railways, etc
✅ Apply a colour palette that makes your map look professional and aesthetic
✅ Export a presentation-ready map in minutes
This is Brisbane: buildings, green spaces and the river. The kind of map that makes spatial data actually readable. In environmental consulting, clear visualisation matters as much as the data itself.
No experience needed. Just QGIS and 15 minutes.
P.S. My first video here. Hope you enjoy it!!
