American Flamingo Distribution Map

American Flamingo Distribution Map

Hello, this is my recent prioject about American Flamingo distribution map using QGIS and Affinity Designer 2. I wanted to combine geographic data with a natural history style infographic, showing the species range across the Caribbean, Central America, and northern South America along with regional flags, species information, scale references, and population data. The map uses EPSG 8857 and the flamingo illustration and graphic elements were composed in Affinity Designer. Feedbacks are always welcome and I hope you enjoy!

[OC] Atlas of Egypt

This is my recent cartography project of Egypt created in QGIS. It combines terrain types, protected areas, exclusive economic zone, major cities, pyramids, and population patterns with panels for the Nile Delta and nighttime lights. The landscape is defined by the Sahara, Nile corridor, and the Red Sea mountains creating one of the most distinctive physical and cultural geographies on Earth. All spatial data are projected in a custom Egypt centered CRS and sources are fully attributed at bottom. Feedbacks are welcome and i hope you enjoy!

Kenya Infographic

Hello, I made this map and infographic as a personal GIS/cartography project focused on Kenya’s landscapes and wildlife. I wanted to combine terrain, land cover, roads, rivers, and wildlife distribution data with some more illustrative elements to show how different species are distributed across the country. I also included information on giraffes, zebras, African buffalo, and savanna elephants, including population estimates, lifespan, weight, and conservation status. Most of the mapping and spatial analysis was done in QGIS, with the final layout and graphics put together afterward in Affinity Designer 2. Please zoom in for details and feedbacks are always welcome. I hope you enjoy!

[OC] Mexico - Avocados Map

Hello, I made this map to show where avocados grow across Mexico and why the climate works so well for them. The top panel map highlights main production areas while bottom maps break down yields and climate zones that supports the crop production. Michoacán dominates the avocado market as usual but there are other states with high yield.

I got the idea for this map watching random videos online and thought it will be fun/helpful to make this. Feedbacks are always welcome and I hope you enjoy!

Map of Singapore

Hello there! I recently finished a map of Singapore and wanted to share the final design. This time I took a different approach by keeping the layout more minimal and focusing on only the essential information. Singapore is a small island nation at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula known as one of the world’s busiest trading hubs, modern skyline, efficient public transportation, and multicultural population. Did you know over 24 percent of the land in Singapore is artificial? Feedbacks are welcome and I hope you enjoy!

[OC] Deadliest Typhoons in the Philippines

Hello, the Philippines is made of 7,000+ islands, sitting right in the path of the Western Pacific typhoon belt. This location experiences around 20 tropical cyclones a year, more than almost anywhere else on Earth and has for centuries.

This map traces the 10 deadliest storms ever to hit the country. Yolanda/Haiyan in 2013 remains the worst: a Category 5 that made landfall with a storm surge so violent it wiped out entire coastal communities in Tacloban overnight, killing over 6,300 people. Further back, the 1897 “October” typhoon and 1991’s Uring (Thelma) show this isn’t a new problem.

Feedbacks are always welcome and I hope you enjoy!

Data sources are from: NOAA IBTrACS, NAMRIA, PAGASA.
