Week 7 - Cartographic Skills - GIS3015
This map shows to population density of males vs females as well as the wine consumption of each country in the region.
I think using population density as a bases for the data is a good way to classify the information.
Using population density, specifically for wine consumption would help explain high concentration areas of drinking. If only two people live in each 100 mile radius of one country and the next country has 3,000 individuals per 100 miles the wine consumption would easily be explained. If you listed only how many individuals consumed wine it might give and unfair judgment of the country with the higher population.

Week 5 - Geographic Info Systems - GIS4043
Projections
Using a different project provided different scales for each county. the projections vary from 1 to 19 sq miles. If someone was building a bridge or a railroad system being off by a few square miles could turn into a really big problem. I think ordinary people pick up maps and never take these things into account but when it comes to making a map you have to be accurate because someone has put a lot of blind faith into you.

Week 4 - Cartographic Skills - GIS3015
This week were assigned to employ the proper typography for a map. I decided to use a standard font enhanced by different colors. I like being able to easily identify and object on a map when I can just associate it with it's features color assignment. In my mind color variation/associate is what defines certain things i.e. stop-sign read, Starbucks green, Barney purple. However ocean blue has always depend upon the clarity of the water and the location of the beach but I think you understand what I was trying to do here.
