My web map is a story map of the 30 stadiums in Major League Baseball.

Hi Ken, great map!

1. Your map’s story is immediately clear since the first page explains what the map is representing and even states what the colors represent. I thought the first page was great, especially with the MLB logo and how you showed the whole map.
2. Map projection looks great!
3. I think the generalization on each slide is great — the first slide with the map of the United States showed the whole scope of the map, while the slides of each field showed the fields in more detail.
4. The symbology is clear, especially since you differentiated between leagues with different colored markers.
5. Your symbols match your data — each point is on the fields (the point for Tropicana is slightly off-centered)
6. Text symbols are great — easy to read and informational
7. No problems with figure-ground!
8. Great visual hierarchy!
9. I loved the pictures you used along with the map location. Great map Ken!

Ken,

Great story map! A couple of suggestions…

– I would look at a couple of different basemaps, which might help make your markers pop more and help better orient people to where the stadium is located.
– I would use the pop-up feature to give the user the address or a fun fact about that particular stadium.
– Very nice choice of pictures and incorporating the marker color in each slide.
– I would explore different marker options–something more visibly striking (colored baseballs?)

Keep up the good work.

-Justin

If I were being picky … I would say always have the marker at home plate … but this is really cool (I still dream of baseball markers ….)
