I like the topic and the colors of this map. What this map doesn't show is what languages are most spoken, it looks like this is of predominant language in certain countries. Chinese is the language spoken by the most number of people in the world.

This one also has really good colors and is also a prism map. Although I am not sure what the actual variable was.

This bumpy geoid is really, really cool. It is supposedly an accurate depiction of the Earth's surface. It is amazing to me that we can figure out things like the surface of the Earth and actually travel in space!

This map uses colors really well to depict the history of the river channels of the Mississippi.

The fonts on this map really depicted how using different typeface and font can evoke meanings on maps.

I liked Kevin's green colorramp...I was not so succesful in producing a pretty green. He was one of the first I saw to use rounded rectangles and the gradient looks good too.

I really liked the gradient on these circular symbols on Joshua's map. It allowed for viewing of the color of the counties and that was a big problem that I had on my bivariate map.

I just absolutely HAD to choose Aaron's map because of those crazy roller skating cows! Take that Professor Leslie ;-)

Unfortunately, YES...I chose another of Aaron's map. (Don't go getting a big ego, Aaron!)

I think the background dollar bill is a really neat idea. Color ramp is okay but the dollar signs needing, just a little something extra.

Last but not least...I had to give Ashley a shout out....since she liked my outhouses! Seriously, I like the corn symbology on her map....I wonder how long it took to make them?
