map, type









This could work better, including the name of the dive site but still when it comes to the amount of locations that need to be included it won't work. Also it means that once people add their own stickers onto the map the design will be inconsistent.



Adding the location name. I think this is too long/too much information but also there is no way I'd be able to fit in all these bits of information so close to one another.





Using just a lighter shade of blue for the sea names maintains the pictograms being higher on the heirarchy but you are still able to see/read the sea names.





The blue number works much better, it's much calmer and easy to read



Using the pink for the numbers, the contrast between the red and the green works well for the pictograms because it makes it easy to spot but type wise it's very difficult to read.



The sea names here are far too dark. I thought I'd try and use the same colour as the land but this way if I need to overlap the type onto the countries you won't be able to see it anymore.



Adding a stroke, this is awful



Having this as a condensed typeface looks a bit odd, since there is so much space around it. I think it should be a wider typeface to accentuate how much space there is and make the sea look bigger.



This colour for the type is far too distracting, the contrast needs to be lower and the colour darker
