Original Map
My Map
Critique
The biggest issue I have with this map is the labels. My first change would be to standardize the labelling system, possibly to postal abbreviations, possibly to another form, but the key element would be to standardize them, rather than having a different form for each state. I would standardize them in terms of length of abbreviation and in terms of the color of labels. I am very bothered by the black labels on this map.Secondly I would change have labels for all states, rather than skipping a significant portion of the east coast. And lastly, when making the map I realized how irrelevant the "Map Key" is. I think it may have served an earlier purpose, but is now rather unhelpful in understanding the map. Not to mention that the color for the blue "win" box doesn't even match the map. I would redesign this map key to have appropriate colors and to be more useful.
