PROAGANDA MAP

 

 

Propaganda Map

 

 

A New World Map

Notice North America is shifted to the left and not in the center of the map.

This Propaganda Map was created with the goal of achieving a result similar to traditional propaganda; the map can be outright falsified, or even just created using subjectivity with the goal of persuasion. 

 

Should this be the new world map?  Or should we keep our old one?

 

PROPORTIONAL CIRCLE MAP

 Proportional Circle Map

 

 

Proportional Circle Map of U.S. Walmart Stores in 2009

 

There is point data mapped with a circle instead of a dot.  The size of the circle relates to measured variable and not necessarily the area over which it is measured.  The smallest circle on this map is 1, while the largest circle represents 100.  This is a point pattern map.  There are two types of proportional circle maps: continuously variable symbols and range-graded symbols.

 This is a cute map showing the scores for a basketball team.
