Our second lab of Geog 572 required us to design a basemap based on an aesthetic style by incorporating the forms, colors, type and texture of that style into the map. I really enjoy the style of emojis because of its vibrant color scheme along with the simplicity in conveying a message that makes us happy. This was the intention for my basemap which is largely yellow and blue in color and it also consists of various emojis to depict different points of interest that brings us happiness.
