Isohyet Map

This is my third post of my isohyet map. I used manual interpolation to set my points. Originally I had tried a black and white map as the instructions said, but it wasn't clear. I decided to give the state of Georgia a little color so the map would be more pleasing. After I posted that, I went back to try to put color in the background. The light in my brain finally came on and I figured it out so I am submitting this latest version. I really like the pencil tool - it is the one tool I have been able to use successfully right from the start!

Bonus Map

This is a resubmittal of my proportional symbol map. I chose to use a 3-D sphere because I thought it showed the proportions I wanted without as much clutter. I also provided a background color(something I couldn't figure out in Illustrator!) and have a little more contrast with my labels. I still don't have the creativity of others, but I think I am improving!

Flow Map

I spent many hours struggling with Illustrator for this project. I never could get Africa to be visible on top of the continent.

Non-contiguous Cartogram

I can not believe I actually used Illustrator to create my legend! I could not for the life of me get circles into my ArcMap legend.

Dot Density Map Try Again!

After searching the internet for some help, I went back in and tried to improve my map. It doesn't look that much different but I was able to use the "live color" to change the color all at once instead of county by county like I did before. Much easier! I did also manage to change the scale so the map portion is a little larger. I still can't figure out how to change the background color.......I'll save that for another day.

Dot Density Map

I am finally able to submit my dot density map although I am not pleased with it. Although I have tried to employ all of the suggestions from my class mates, I have not been successful. I struggle with color and scale.
