Ten Maps I Like From GGS310

"Favorite Five" - Maps Made By Classmates:
From John: Great topic and old-time feel to this map.  Original artwork and interesting to look at.

From Nicole: I like the artistic touches that she uses in her maps, the flower clip art paired with the title and outline of her legend box tie everything together.

From Danielle: I really like her color scheme and layout.  I think this is a very well done map.
From Thomas:  I like how this map is clean and the icon and legend box both work with the theme.
From Jared: I like how he pulled in the elements of strip mining to the entire map, background included.  Even being black and white, there is a lot to look at and it is not "boring."

"Favorite Five" - Maps Found By Classmates on the Web:
From Danielle: Interesting way of using isolines to show skin tone across the globe.

From Danielle: I like the prism effect on this bi-variate map.  With this projection, the states behind the ones with the highest confirmed human cases are not obscured.

From Cory:  This is interesting with the different texts.  The colors look muted, almost like denim. 

From Cory: The bright blue really makes the data stand out well against the black background.

From Bryan: Liked the concise trail map with artistic flair.  Nice color scheme and artwork.
