Lab 10

This is supposed to be all the snowfall in Pennsylvania during 2015. It's on a color gradient from blue as the least amount to yellow, orange red, and black as the heaviest.

Game of Thrones

  • http://quartermaester.info/

This is just an amazing map. The amount of time and detail put into this map from a book reader's standpoint let alone an aspiring map-maker is amazing. Every chapter in the series (there are A LOT of chapters) is given as a frame that can be gone through and there are so many character paths that needed to be plotted for this. The amount of knowledge of the series itself is impressive. Not to mention the map and pan and zoom qualities make this an awesome map I would have loved to attempt if I had more time.

Nepal Earthquake Before and After Map (Blog Post 9)

Before and After

-> This map is very neat, because it was produced in a short amount of time, but also has a neat concept of a slider bar that goes between two imaages. A before and an after, it makes for a very crisp and cool transition. Just don't zoom out too much because you'll never find the picture again :O Uh-Oh

NBA 2011 Finals

This is an AWESOME map. The splash screens in the beginning of players faces tiled in the style of the map is really cool and go away once moused over. These are heat maps of shots of each team and then of each starting player on each team showing how many shots, from where on the floor, and how many points made. It's then shown as tiled and color coated. A really neat map though.
