30 Day Map Challenge

Challenge Excepted

A post on Twitter that turned into a month of data wrangling and cartographic madness

I wanted to take on this 30 day map challenge as a chance to learn some new map making tools (QGIS), gather some interesting data sets for use in future GIS and cartography course assignments, and possibly produce a map that I could build off of to submit to the Atlas of Design Volume 5 (an atlas showing off some of the world's most compelling and beautiful cartographic works). The Atlas is published by The North American Cartographic Information Society (NACIS). I set a few rules for myself: - try to spend only 30 min. to a hour on each map if possible (that did NOT happen on ever map) - incorporate some new design element - have my daughters give me suggestions on topic, style, or design - try a least a few different visual design elements (don't just stick with the defaults)
