Option 2 Extra Credit; top 10 maps!

I thought Jon's Alpaca natural breaks map was really creative and stood out, I like that for the highest data set he put actual alpacas in the state!

Tom's Bivariate map was very well done with how he actually cropped the heads of Romney and Obama! That can take a lot of time. He also stated at the bottom what the size of their heads mean related to them winning.

Nicole's dot density map for West Virginia was pretty cool with how she made a black background and the dots green, which made them really stand out. The clovers add a nice touch and her whole map looks balanced and neat!

Jared's Graduated symbol map for Maryland was really creative! I can tell it took him a lot of time to crop out the mountains or draw them and the background is awesome with the stream and the legend within it. 

John's map for his final project is awesome! I like the border of the Bigfoot's footprint, as well as the projection. It looks antiquey and just really creative.

Haley's was a good map for the weekly blog post measuring Dot density of global shipping. I liked how the data is different and the dots are in the ocean rather than on land!

Jame's weekly blog post of isolines was interesting to look at since the isolines are measuring the Earth's crust! Normally when seeing isolines they're measuring temperature so this was something different.

Gardy's weekly post about the Typhoon Haiyan was cool because it shows just how big the cyclone was compared to the islands it hit.

Danielle's post of skin color in the world by country was very interesting! I've never seen this done before and though it was neat to look at, although it's not very accurate..

Daniel's map of the African continent showing elephant population was cool because it shows that there is a great deal of them in South Africa but the farther north there are less.
