Map Style Creation Log

Start with a blank style. Why? Starting blank helps us include only the necessities. Every layer should have a clear purpose to help users accomplish a goal.
Set the color of the background layer. Why? So we don't have blanks on the map
Upload svg images uses as markers in symbol layers (specific to StreetCred's use)
Add a basic building block. Water. Available in the Mapbox Streets data source, water.

What do you need, to be able to see where you are?

Add something bright to lead the way. Parks. Available in the Mapbox Streets data source, landuse
