Looks amazing. I don't know where you come up with these ideas but I appreciate it. Always looking forward to the next. I cant wait to try this with some local data, and see how it looks at a state or county level.
Great quick video and map! Blend modes are one of those those surprisingly fun and powerful manipulations in graphic software which are kind of hard to wrap my head around or explain in an intuitive sense.
Great as always. And, since you're gonna rip off your Prof, I should tell you I'm ripping you off. Assigning this and your Map Choreography vids for my AGOL students to build. A lot of great tools and effects in both! But, since they're beginners, I'm redoing this one slowly (heh) and in a little more detail -- showing how to label & round life expectancy numbers. Alas, mine won't be as fun to watch as yours! Thanks!
@@JohnNelsonMaps Wow! That would be outstanding. It's a short (4 week) & fully online class -- maybe 20 students. We don't start until 10/14 but it would be extremely cool if you'd want to do a zoom pep talk or something. I'll talk to the other GIS instructor at our college (Columbia College in Sonora, CA). He'd probably want to have his classes log in as well. I'll talk it over with him and suggest a range of dates if you're still into it and available.I already strongly recommend both your Carto MOOC as well as your & Ken's web sites. (You'd think, gushy fanboy that I am, I'd do better maps...). Anyway, mucho thanks for the offer! I'll get back to you on this.
Came for the map hack, stayed for the basemap managment in the new map viewer! Also, best video dedication so far LOL
thanks Alex!

I know what you mean. I still am mostly experimenting and learning what they do.
I like watch your videos, learn and fun
thanks Ahmed! i'm having fun too.
Does this trick with drop shadow also work in ArcGIS Pro?
it does, but instead of a drop shadow (there are no effects yet in Pro) you'd use a gradient line (black to transparent black) for the shadow.
Did you mess around with having the peaks have a larger drop shadow? I wonder if that might make them look taller as well as brighter?
i thought about that but was too lazy to try. actually i tried to isolate the variables for a how to, but yes i think it would have a nice effect.

@@gdurkee that’s fantastic to hear! Let me know if you’d ever like a guest speaker for your class
