Final Project - RallyCross Across America
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0xjppljwl7qa1ge/RallyCross-Final.swf
This is a map of all Regional RallyCross Challenges and the National RallyCross Championship sanctioned by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). I have used imagery from Google Maps for regional and site maps, and used artwork from the SCCA. The audience for this map is someone that is looking to get involved in amateur off road automobile racing. This map would help them find an event in their region where they could spectate, volunteer, or participate.

GGS 411 - Blogpost - Interesting Map - Final Interactive (4/16)
http://serbal.pntic.mec.es/ealg0027/europa3i.html
This map would be a useful tool to teach beginning geography students. I scored 434/450...Damn you Malta and Andorra!

GGS 411 - Blog Post - Neat Effect - World Religious Dissemination
http://www2.div.ed.ac.uk/courses/Animated_Maps/Divinity_Map3/index.html
This map shows the dominant religion of different world regions throughout history. The interesting effect is how the cartographer implements the introduction of new religions and cross-hatching to show areas where multiple religions have anchored a presence and are co-existing (peacefully or otherwise). The cross-hatching using stripes of the symbolic color was particularly effect in portraying the mixture.

GGS 411 - Blog Post - Splash Screen - Holocaust Era Rescue Map
http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/media_nm.php?MediaId=3374
This map tells the efforts of Raoul Wallenberg and others who risked life and liberty to rescue Jews from Nazi Germany's "Final Solution," the mass genocide of Europe's Jewish population. The effort saved thousands of lives, but while saving individuals and groups throughout the war, failed to convince Allied leaders of the atrocities being committed in Nazi death camps.
History has shown them to be on the right side of what was going on. The debate over what could have been going on continues.

GGS 411 Blogpost - Population Map - "Mapping America"
Blog Post - Population Map - "Mapping America"
This map is nice because you can zoom down to individual census blocks to visualize demographic (population) information.
GGS 411 Blogpost Check Boxes - Yellowstone Animals
Blog Post -Check Boxes - Yellowstone Animals!
Took a while to find this map, but I think it would have been very useful on my previous visits to the park. After a while you get tired of seeing bison and elk. Where's the GOOD STUFF!
GGS411 Blogpost - Motion Map - German invasion of France in World War II
Blog Post - Motion Map (ShapeTween) - German invasion of France in World War II
This map is neat because the advances and pauses are explained and controlled by Hitler's commands rather than arbitrary pauses in the mapping.
GGS 411 - Final Project Proposal
Rally Cross in America
My proposed final project will be a map of RallyCross events across the North American continent. Rallycross is a "offroad" racing discipline that is specifically designed for amateurs with a limited budget of time and funds for car preparation and training. The targeted competition is governed by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) and has several regional club events as well as national sponsored events towards a national championship event. Ideally my map will be a resource for dirt racing enthusiasts who are unaware of the sport's availability in their area and help them attend an event or two to give it a try.
My map inspiration comes from the World Rally Championship which is a professional racing series of similar style, but far greater costs, stakes, and stiffer global competition. My product will include a splash page with a large scale map showing all of the events and have options for the audience to focus in on regional events and localized spatial information along with details about individual events.
