Chicago Map

The changes I made to my map of Chicago map include:

1. changing the style to a different color theme to pink/purple because I liked that color
2. increased the outline width slightly to make it more visible
3. Made the outline a solid black instead of gray again to make it more visible
4. I decided to classify the data to make it easier to understand
5. Increased the number of classes to 5 because I liked how the data was represented with five classes rather than three or four
6. Increased the maps transparency to about 25% for aesthetic purpose
7. Added a label that showed the neighborhood names since it was presenting the prices in each neighborhood, it made sense to have the names so people would actually be able to use the map more effectively
8. Changed the label color to a teal color with a white border also for aesthetic but it also made it more visible
9. Set it so the map refreshes every 24 hours to keep the data up-to-date and accurate
10. Added a very slight blur effect because i think it made the lettering a bit easier to read

Changes i made to the dot density map

1. Changed the color of the dots to a dark blue so they were more visible on the map and it made it a little less visually overwhelming
2. Increased dot size because it was a bit hard to see the singular dots that were outside of the majority 
3. Changed the outline color to black so it was easier to see with all of the dots obscuring the line
4. Added neighborhood name labels so people could better understand the data that the map was presenting
5. Made the name labels have black lettering with a white outline so they were easier to read and increased the size
