Proportional Symbol Map...

Single? Maybe you should check this out...



I think the legend they used on this map is kind of cool. Anyway, the Strange Maps blog comes through for me again...I love that site.

Here is my Lab 7, proportional symbol map.

Choropleth map...

I forgot that we were supposed to post up an example of a choropleth map to our blogs, so here it is...



No, I'm not Mormon (not that there's anything wrong with that), but I thought this was a good example of how a Choropleth map can really convey the geographic pattern of a topic being studied. It's easy to tell by looking at the map, that most of the Latter-Day Saints reside in the region around Utah (no suprises there). The map is one of a series of maps showing where different religions are largely located around the country. I think they are all solid, good quality choropleth maps. Heres the link...

Now that wasn't so hard was it...

Use of Fonts...

Its amazing what Google can find if you just type in exactly what your looking for...say "maps with odd fonts."



This "map" I think is a great example for a map with good use of fonts. Though its not mapping locations or spatial data or whatever, I think it's clever the way the fonts sort of portray or reflect the subjects. Language is in sort of a calligraphic font. The Arts looks like someone could have just written it by hand with a marker. Technology is a more mordern, simple, cleaner cut, style font. So yeah.

This other map I got off the Strange Maps blog. I hate baseball but its another interesting way to use fonts in that each "country" is labeled with the logo font for each baseball team.
