Needs versus Wants is a map that reflects a financial study on Tony Pierce’s bill statement from September 2015 to August 2016. It is meant as a spread in a book, and this particular spread divides several categories of expenses into two broad categories: necessities and luxuries. then, those categories are divided in subcategories so that Tony Pierce can see at a glance what his largest, and smallest, expenses are should he need to start managing his finances!
The most enjoyable part of this particular map was the icons, and the color scheme. I find that blue and orange color schemes are easily recognizable and subtle enough to draw the audience’s attention in, and I was proud with my ability to make distinct icons that are unique from one another and clear representations of their categories.
