As requested, a green to grey theme with a darker sea colour. I perfer the first version myself as large areas such as the sea mask are easier on the eye.
I've chucked out all available formats in the software, sorry - no png. We've got ps, pdf, emf and ai. http://www.planetnomad.com/dump/Green_to_DGrey_Layout.pdf http://www.planetnomad.com/dump/DGreen_to_LGrey_Layout.pdf just change the extension to download the other files. I imagine there's further tweaks on the colour still to do but it's probably easier if suggestions include rgb values. I'll work on pinpointing some top 10 / bottom 10 and some city names. I think we've got to consider the poster as an asthetic bit of fun only - you shouldn't read too much into the results.

I agree that green to gray could be a nicer colour theme - can we get a version like that? I can try messing with colour channels, but it would be easier to do it from source. On that note - it would be great to get the image as something other than pdf - a vector format like eps or high resolution bitmap (png) would be great. Just a general question - what is the end goal for this project? Eg. an A3 poster to sell on the MySociety site? Is it purely promotional (aesthetic), or more of a straight informatic (accurate and useful)? Joe 2009/9/18 Andrew Bailey <[1][email protected]> will do.
