Lab 7: Map of Costa Rica

Costa Rica

This map was designed for Tourist of Costa Rica who were visiting to get their surf on. My main goal was to make the map simple and easy to read/understand. It is not to scale so it is best used for reference. Most of the locations I identified are near the coast so tourist can find nearby locations from wherever they decide to surf.

To simplify the map as much as possible I tried to use symbology that I believe would be directly correlated with the locations purpose. I also color coded the text according to symbology to make it even easier to pick out in tightly labeled areas.
