Map Failbruary Challenge Days 15-28 – March 8, 2023 at 09:32AM

Here is the second half of the #MapFailbruaryChallenge. For the first half and explanations see here. Here are the categories, again with minimal commentary.

 

Day 15 – You do not need to know geography to be a cartographer

Day 17 – Not enough or too much text

Day 18 – Make a country look like its flag classification map – a popular and very hard to read genre on the internet.

Day 19 – that really should have been like 3 different maps

Day 20 – Irrelevant variables

Day 21 – worst hand drawn map

Day 22 – could have been a bar chart. I tried to make an actual bar chart out of goofily deformed Italys. The categories (ie. breads, cereals and pastas) were reduced into simplistic cliches for fun.

Day 23 – worst font

Day 24 – shocking correlations. Turns out your toilet had jets that flush in a designed direction independently of where you are but your sink…

Day 25 – The map with the highest number of hardly detectable errors

Day 26 – worst hiking map

Day 27 – worst decorations

Day 28 – worst abuse of digital elevation model (DEM). I had a DEM of the Puget Sound area that I flattened a bit, messed with the colors and made it look like an oil slick.
