Dear Jody and all,
as I understood from the previous e-mail, you need a simple static (print)
map for the brochure. I've tried to create one based on the data from the
GeoForAll Labs' table - please, see the result in the attachment. The map
is created in QGIS and uses some of its advanced cartographic visualization
techniques (data defined overrides, blending modes, draw effects etc.).
Also, I tried to apply OSGeo coloring scheme, presented in the new branding
material.
Please, let me know if you have any suggestions regarding the style of the
map and its contents - I will be glad to help.
PS
if anyone wants to play with the data - here is the link to the csv-table,
that I used [1]
