In this map I used the proportional symbol mapping technique to represent the populations of different capital cities throughout the world. I chose a dot minimum size of 10 and a maximum size of 35 because this way the reader could see the smallest dot clearly and the dots started to coalesce as well. I also chose to use Flannery’s compression to help avoid the tendency of people to underestimate the size of larger objects. I used a vertical legend format because it best filled the available space.
