Customizations
I made several customizations in my map. One of them is that I increased the size of both the symbols and label fonts for my map since it was rather limited in data. The labels for the cities looked very small in the map since we only selected a few. Another customization I used was I changed the color scheme to reflect the “Sunshine State” (basically just used orange, blue, and green). Lastly, I changed the font for the cities because the lecture had suggested using sans serif font for infrastructure and made sure that the rivers and swamps were in serif font for a better readability between the different features. Other than the previously mentioned customizations, I also added an inset map of the United States and experimented with the backgrounds of the map frames until I made a map that looked aesthetically pleasing to me. Overall, I just wanted a "tourist-y" map of Florida.
