Fordern Sie Feedback zu einem eindeutigen Kartendesign an [OC]

Hello everyone,

I’m excited to share a map project I’ve been working on and would love your input on its overall design and functionality. My aim is to create a map that balances visual appeal with clear, informative data presentation. Specifically, I’m looking for feedback on:

* Overall design and layout
* Color schemes and visual hierarchy
* Clarity and effectiveness of legends and labels
* Any additional elements that could enhance user understanding

Whether you’re coming from a cartographic, GIS, or data visualization background, your insights would be invaluable. Please let me know what works, what could be improved, or if there are any elements that seem confusing. Thanks in advance for your thoughtful critique!

Aesthetically beautiful.

Hard to come up with criticism, but I think the circles + added contrast + large names make certain cities look way larger and more important than cities that are not circled. First example that comes to mind is Budapest vs. Belgrade… not that different population in reality but it looks like a massive gap here.

This aligns with your theme of focusing on human populations rather than borders and man made constructs.

Possibly choose EITHER the circle or the very intense contrast so that the observer can still see populations outside of these economic zones. Or circle cities with 5+ million population only?

Again really nice and interesting graphic 🙂

You’re doing too many things at once. Way too disorienting.
