Could use mapbox to find a good red, white, and blue color scheme.

@hamhands has expressed interest in helping out here!

beccablazak commented 9 years ago

@svmatthews @hamhands awesome! I was playing around with Mapbox studio a little bit this afternoon...super fun

mapsam commented 9 years ago

agreed! I had @hamhands show me the ropes on Friday last week. He's making a sweet Metal Map with @yuletide

beccablazak commented 9 years ago

@hamhands @svmatthews I don't know what a metal map is, but sounds cool

mapsam commented 9 years ago

It's like a map, but more metal :metal:

@hamhands whoa...that's a pretty intense looking map

hamhands commented 9 years ago

@beccablazak Yeah I know. If you go to Finland it looks like the whole landscape has been spattered with blood :metal:

yuletide commented 9 years ago

I'll just leave this here. From the good old days: http://mapoftheweek.blogspot.com/2009/02/map-of-week-heavy-metal-cartogram.html

hamhands commented 9 years ago

Awwwww I miss map of the week @yuletide

hamhands commented 9 years ago

And by that I mean I miss going to that blog that still exists.

mapsam commented 9 years ago

@beccablazak what about just using the Stamen Toner light tileset for now? http://maps.stamen.com/toner-lite/#12/37.7706/-122.3782

migurski commented 9 years ago

There’s a high-res version of those available for Retina screens as well. Not well-documented, but:

regular resolution tile

double resolution tile

mapsam commented 9 years ago

Nice! @migurski what's the chance of being able to use the brigade tileset from http://www.codeforamerica.org/brigade/?

hamhands commented 9 years ago

Had I known about that tileset, this issue would not exist

migurski commented 9 years ago

I suppose you could just use it as-is—I think @ondrae set it up.
