Professor Holt needed custom maps for his book Children of Fire (Hill and Wang, 2011). I was given maps that showed precisely what information Prof. Holt needed to express. I took his images and created custom maps for print and publication. Prof. Holt and I worked one-on-one to create these one-of-a-kind maps over a couple of months.

Prof. Holts original concept illustration.

Using visualization software I was able to create his original circles with each size corresponding to the specific percentage.

This is the final image used for publication.
