Type Map

This map contains a variety of information about state capitals and cities that the author wishes to convey. With a crafty selection of text color, size and placement all of the information fits into each state. Although it appears cluttered in some parts of the country, the bold letters mixed with lighter colors help the eye to differentiate between the different text.

Mollweide Graticle

This is a great map projection that shows the uneven ocean floor. The blue color that is normally used to identify bodies of water is actually visually appealing in showing the elevation variation of the ocean floor.

Percentage of World Population Using Solid Fuels

The reason I like this map is because of the use of colors to emphasize where the highest percentage of solid fuels are consumed. The red and yellow colors stand out on their own, but the absence of color for the countries that have a low percentage of consumption emphasize the areas that do have a high percentage of consumption. This draws the attention of the reader to the important areas of the map and is effective in creating a visual guide.
