Chorpleth Mapping Lab

This a choropleth map of the percent change in population by census division between the years 1990 and 2000. The map used the same base map as the one below but was classified using 5 equal intervals. Using excel to create the equal intervals was very easy and straight forward.

This is a choropleth map of the percent change in population by state between the years 1990 and 2000. It is classified with a 5 class natural break. The hardest part of this lab was getting it in a layout that looked good. Since Alaska is such a big state it takes up a large amount of the page and had to be placed in such a way that allowed the continental US to be shown clearly as well.

Map Composition Lab

This is a map of the hispanic population percentage in Central and South Florida. Adobe Illustrator is getting easier to use each time I use it. Some of the newly learned features I like are the separating of layers and also being able to group things together. Changing individual elements was pretty straight forward.

Map Lettering Lab

This is map of the middle part of the Florida Keys. I have never used Adobe Illustrator so it took a little getting used to. I think this would be a good tool to use after creating a detailed map in ArcGIS and then bring it into Adobe Illustrator to improve on the typography elements.
