I chose Europe Albers Equal Area Conic for my projection. I used a 65% opacity, but chose not to use that in my legend, I didn't like the look of the opacity in the legend but felt I needed it in order to see the country outlines and see the names. I hope that is not one of the 'important things not to do on your map'! I chose to make my legend linear with a horizontal orientation, and went from smaller to larger symbols because to me, it is the most logical way to read the legend.Tuesday, March 31, 2009

No..you want to adjust your transparency so good call on that one! Legend design is really nice as well as the inset map. Good job!
