I want to start off by saying this is a pretty poor excuse for a map. The figure-ground is ok, but that is about all for this map. Legibility is pretty poor and the way she spaced her name and her sources is pretty weird. The clarity of the map is also bad. To make it easier to see she should have used circles instead of squares. The image seems to be very pixely which doesn't help your map look very good. As far as the balance of the map it would look better if she kept her data source and name together. Otherwise I think the balance is ok. The visual hierarchy of the map is where she needs improvement. This map was not well thought out. The projection of the United States is pretty poor, and she left out Alaska. In her note under the legend she says she doesn't have data for Hawaii or Alaska. Why would she include only Hawaii (very distorted) on the map then?
