Adjustments made from the original tutorial by Jess Strzempko:

1. I changed the colors of the underlying malnutrition choropleth map from an orange gradient to a red gradient. I did this because the French OSM basemap that I have used in my map contains large swaths of yellows in Mauritania, Morocco, and other countries, indicating desert land cover. I wanted to convey the same urgency regarding malnutrition as with the orange shades, but ensure that I was distinguishing the basemap information from the overlying data.

2. While most of the icons I use in this map come from the OCHA standard set of icons on Noun Project, I found a dentist icon that mimics that of the OCHA doctor icon (a briefcase with a symbol of the profession on top). I found this separate icon from a user on the Noun Project site, Achmad Mulyana.

3. I made several superficial changes to the text on the page. For one, I changed the header font to Corden and the paragraph font to Lato, both sourced from Google Fonts. I additionally changed the color of the text to that of the darkest category in the choropleth map for consistency and cohesion across the website. Moreover, the use of lighter text and a slightly darker background color for the page eliminates the stark contrast of black text on a white background and lends character to the page. Lastly, I tied the color of the map border and buttons into this existing color scheme for further cohesion.

4. The last major change I made was adding buttons below the map to allow the user to filter out different types of health sites. Given that the main issue with this map is the difficulty in displaying a large number of point data in a clear and effective manner, I thought the addition of filtering was useful. The creation of buttons was based on the code in this tutorial. I considered creating marker clusters, however, it seemed like representing the difference between the types of health sites on a local scale was more important that the country-wide visualization of quantity of health sites.

Things I would do if I had more time:

1. I would perhaps edit the existing icons to have a background, so they are more easily visible on the map.

2. I would clean up the code to remove redundancies in regard to the creation of the buttons. My understanding of jquery is currently still limited and it makes me nervous to attempt to remove extraneous code as I worry about breaking the functionality of the web map!
