I hope you enjoy my color map of Percent of the Total Population Who Are 65 Years and Over. I have chosen orange -red colors since those are the colors that usually represent populations. In my opinion, my map on the web and my printed map can be interpreted differently, however, the web one looks better than the printed one. There are several reasons for this conclusion: the colors on the web copy look closer to each other and the steps of enhancing the color look reasonable; the font does not appear to distract the audience's attention from the map. However, the printed version's font looks too bright and its colors from the least to the most bright one does not look like they belong in the same family of colors. The orange color on the web copy attracts the most attention, yet on the printed one the red is most visible. The least enhanced color on the web looks off white, however, on the printed copy it appears yellow. On both maps you can identify six different classes, but the web copy is easier to look at.
