Top 10 Favorite Maps

5 Favorite Student Created Maps

I really like the colors in this map. It makes me want to see what the map is about (even though its a sad topic).

I know this isn't the finished map, but I like the iPhone border and the colors she chose to represent the different types of phones. Its a very clean map and I like that.

This map looks fun to me! I like the way the title is written as well as the border around what the flower represents. Its a cute way to represent plant dealers, but because of the topic, it still looks professional.

The colors represent "danger" and the font the title is written in also represents that. I think the title is actually scarier than the red colors; it looks like its dripping or maybe smeared on it.

I liked that this map was about veterans, but its pretty subtle. There aren't soldiers, sailors, etc. all over it. There is just the branch symbols and an American flag background. Its patriotic, and I like how the background is distressed looking.





5 Favorite Weekly Blog Maps

 

I like the subject of this map. Most of the world seems to use Facebook and I'd never heard of most of the other social networks. I think its kinda funny how the Phillipines uses Friendster. that social network was popular in the US before Myspace.

I think these typographic maps are really cool. DC is my favorite. I actually like this one so much, I'm planning on buying on and framing it to hang up at my house.

I like the topic of this map and well as how its layed out. It has a satellite image as a background as well as colors that remind me of fantasy/sci-fi. I think it really represents the topic.

This map has an interesting project. Its kind of hard to follow if you weren't familiar with the area you wre looking at, but its interesting to see the connection between mining and poverty rates.

Another typographic map. I like how simplistic this one is. Like the other typographic map I liked, I also like this one so much, I'd like to buy one. I just googled it and there's a water color version I really want now! I didn't realized I liked fonts so much until this class.
