Part One: Thematic Mapping

Distribution of Public Education Institutions in Singapore

I used the SVG symbols taught previously in the Hand's On exercises to categorize the schools. The types of schools are a form of categorical data, thus they can be differentiated from each other by unique symbols of different colours. I chose grey as the map base so that the bright coloured and black symbols can be easily identified on the map. This is so that the viewer can identify any trends and patterns at a glance. The increased the size of the symbols to increase their visibility as I found that the symbols were too small even when the map was zoomed in.
