This map of Great Smoky Mountains National Park attentively integrates many practices in order to convey information to a wide audience. I’ve carefully selected color schemes which enhance terrain visibility while maintaining clarity— shaded relief emphasizes elevation, while contrasting colors highlight park boundaries, roads, and key features. The symbology is designed for easy interpretation, with icons distinguishing various important features. Thoughtful labeling ensures that critical locations remain legible without overwhelming the visual hierarchy. This map showcases my proficiency in balancing aesthetic appeal with functional design, making complex geographic information accessible and engaging for a broad audience.
