Part 1 : Thematic Maps
Distribution of Public Education Institution in Singapore by School Types
I utilize open maps so that it is easier for the reader to interpret where the institution is located at. The five respective institutions are represented using different colors to ensure that the user will be able to distinguish the differences easily. Junior colleges and centralized institutes are represented using a square academic hat to further differentiate tertiary education and primary/secondary schools.
Hierarchy of Road Network System in Singapore
I used a neutral brown color for the coastal outline, this is to prevent the background color from overpowering the rest of the colors assigned to the routes. To categorize the route I referred to a guide found on https://www.ura.gov.sg/-/media/Corporate/Resources/Publications/Streets-and-Building-Names/SBNB_handbook_streets.pdf?la=en which dictates whether a route should be listed as expressway/major/minor road. Once the road type is identified, I categorize them using different colors. Contrasting colors are selected which ensures that the map reader will be able to differentiate the various route easily.
