Map Critique #10


This is a proportional symbol map created to emphasize the consumption of the people worldwide of Starbucks coffee and McDonalds fastfood. 

The graphs below the map are important, but aesthetically speaking, it would be better if they are smaller or they are on the other layout or page.

This is a nice map because it is very informative and some necessary elements are present. However, it would be better if the world map used was bigger so the proportional symbol were emphasized more. Also, the map has no title and source. In presenting this kind of information, the cartographer must assure that a reference/s will be presented also. And eventhough the map itself present its purpose, a title should still be provided.
