This is an excellent map of terms for soft drink predominantly used in U.S. counties.
Figure Ground: As a personal preference, I may have chosen a lighter background color, but the color chosen is distinctively different from every color used on the continent.
Legibility: This is not an overly wordy map, but the words and figures used are very easy to read.
Clarity: Though this map has more classifications than is usually acceptable. It is still completely clear what each color represents and they are distinctively separate from the colors. Thus, they are easy to pick out. I may have chosen to separate Hawaii and Alaska with some separating lines.
Balance: This map fills up the area nicely. Again, I am a little thrown by Alaska and Hawaii. It may have been better to rotate the images as well.
Visual Hierarchy: Color hierarchy movies, interestingly, from lighter to vibrant to dark colors. It may have been better to choose an intermediary color between light and vibrant. The tendency is to think virant colors indicate the highest concentration especially with red, yellow, and green. However, the colors may have been less distinctive for clarity.
