SECTION: Marriage equality in countries

A3 scans of information gathered for info graphics, also a drawing of the purposed design for the pop up.

sources:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_adoption_in_the_United_States
http://www.freedomtomarry.org/

Imagery:

In the infographic I want this section to be one big map of the world with the countries where marriage is legal to be highlighted in a contrasting colour. Places like the USA, Mexico and Europe where the countries get quite small there will need to be a function to "zoom in" so these places can be seen clearer. Further information will be able to be reveal by a roll over function so when a country or a state is clicked information pops up in text and visual form. Some of this information I have in the paper work above.

Colour pallet works well using the iconic pink and blue for girl and boy.

Template Research

To save time I am going to need to find an already made up map of the world and maps of Europe, Mexico and USA for the zoomed in parts.

Europe

USA

World

Mexico

 The grey ones are sourced from Wikipedia and are all blank, These maps look like ones other people have sourced for their own projects. The grey is fine and it should fit in my non aggressive colour pallet which I am trying to use. All of the imagery sourced are large images from the web, so heres hoping for no pixels.

Taking the blank map and adding pink in for the countries that same sex marriage is legal is and a yellow colour for the areas that have some states that allow same sex marriage (USA and Mexico)

To develop and design:
*USA
*Mexico
*Roll over template
