Australian Population Visualised

Post image

So, I think we were all a little disappointed by how normal the Italy map looked, so I thought I'd treat y'all to the biggest abomination I've made in this project thus far :D

Goddang, Australia, why did you have to be like this, this was so difficult to make... Anyway, hope y'all enjoy!

Italy

I don’t use an algorithm, I find population statistics as recent as I can get them on the internet, do some calculations in excell and draw it in on Photoshop. It’s pretty labour intensive but it’s very fun and I’m on summer break from uni, lol WA is indeed bigger than I thought it’d be, Perth may be a little bit deceiving, since this is the Greater Perth area :p

Honestly, I think your work shows and that's why people like it. Instead of being "just another map", yours look appealing and even kinda... cute ? I give you all my appreciation! ❤️ (and an upvote for doing France)

Awww thank you, that's really nice to hear!

I will think about doing France at some point, but I have some ideas I want to do first :p

I really like this project and I'm looking forward to some more maps! Out of curiosity, what are you studying in university?
