This map depicts the total population of the world capital cities with a population greater than 750,000 centered on Western Europe. The design of the map seems to reflect my penchant for organizing a map – north arrow in the upper right corner, the legend in the lower left corner, etc. The color choices were fairly straightforward. I chose a light blue for the oceans, and a light brown for the land areas. I wanted the symbols to visible over the land areas. The symbol color, I feel, is not too bright or too dark and fits with the other color choices. The design issue that was the most time consuming was designing the legend.
