This project was a lot of fun! I learned a lot about mapping and how it can be used in a powerful way. What really makes digital mapping successful is captivating your audience. Pretty color choices and nice typography really is not enough, you need to go beyond the aesthetics and dig into the conceptual. What does your data have to say? How can you portray that in a way that is beautiful and speaks to the viewer, something they'll remember? I feel that I was able to go beyond the aesthetics and find a strong conceptual theme to utilize in the overall look, design, and layout of both of my maps. I struggled at first trying to create the spilled milk look digitally but once I sat down and attempted to create a physical version that's when things unhinged and I was able to get a good grip on this project. My link to my screen cast is listed above, enjoy!
