A rearview mirror gives a birds-eye view of the commute times in North Carolina. Check your guages for directions!
I had a blast making this map. At first I thought I would use a clock and do proportional symbols, oh the ideas were flowing. But since this was mean data, I thought the choropleth style made the most sense.
I adjusted a color borrowed from ColorBrewer (www.colorbrewer.org) to use as the background color. I think it makes a nice contrast to the purples in the map, it also has a certain beachy feel which I like.
I think I should say that this is mean data. So the choropleth is legal. I made switch in the printed version which I will turn in.
