I chose this map because I like how it shows how each individual vote for each candidate is spread out. It clearly shows where concentration of voters are found and how democrats vs. republicans are spread.

I chose this map because I thought the topic was really interesting. I also really like the color scheme that was chosen to display the data because it really shows which areas have the most photos taken and which have less.

This is a map of the number of hunting licenses holders per state. I like it because I like the symbol used, I like the color contrast, and I like that Canada and Mexico are also shown on the map along with the glob in the bottom left corner.

The main difference between my printed map and my digital map is the vibrancy of the colors. The map is just as easy to read when it is digital as it is when it is printed, however the colors are slightly different. Although the printed colors are still blues/purples, it is almost as if it is a different color scale. The classes are still easy to differentiate despite whether the map is printed or digital. I probably would not change anything on my digital map after seeing it printed, because the printed map still displays the data well and although the colors are a little different, that is inevitable when printing maps.

This map shows the overall water risk per country. I really like the range of color that was chosen for it and the effect that the color has on the reader. I also think the colors are logical--red for high risk and pale yellow for low risk.
