Week 7 Proportionate Symbol Map

I began by importing a basemap from ArcMap to Adobe Illustrator. Then After doing the required calculation in Excel, I was able to decide how to divide the information into five categories(under 100,000, 100,000 - 300,000, 300,000- 1,000,000, 1,000,000 - 5,000,000, and over 5,000,000). I then picked four or five nations from each division to symbolize with the appropriate size symbol. I used France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom for over 5 million gallons of consumption. I chose Portugal, Netherlands, Switzerland, Greece, and Sweden for 1 million to 5 million. I chose Ireland, Poland, Norway, Georgia and Finland for 3 hundred thousand to 1 million. I chose Belarus, Lithuania, Turkey, Cyprus, and Albania for 100,000-300,000. I chose Estonia, Azerbaijan, Iceland, and Faroe Islands for under 100,000.
The reason I chose these countries were they were available on the map and for esthetics of the map. Too many overlays with other countries.

Week6 Map2 Repost:

I was able to get rid of the mess on the map but was not able to resize the image to clean it up. Sorry.

Week6: Map2

I used Adobe Illustrator to manipulate the map I had originally done into greyscale. In order to figure out what tones to use, Excel was used to calculate different divisions of the U.S. and I displayed each region with a different greyscale to show increase in population percentage for each division.
New England: 6.1%
Middle Atlantic Division: 6.7%
East North Central Division:8%
West North Central Division: 7.6%
South Atlantic Division: 14.8%
East South Central Division: 11.7%
West South Central Divisio: 13%
Mountain Division: 29.6%
Pacific Division: 15.7%

Unfortunately after lokking at my post, I realized that all of the items I removed from Map 1 were actually posted with the map I had been working on. I hope to correct this tomorrow when I have time. I had to post it that way because of time constraints. Sorry!!!

Week 6: Map 1

This is the Cloropleth Map of the United States. It shows the percentage of change in population for each state between 1990 and 2000. I have set aside different data frames in order to get it all on one map. I used a destinctive color panel to emphasize the negative growth for Washington D.C. I also zoomed to that area as it is not easily seen at the national level and included it in my map. I added enhancement in Adobe Illustrator in order to have a pretty map.

Week 5: Map Composition

When I first began this project, I felt that all the aggrevation was not worth it in Illustrator. However, it seemed to finally get a bit easier once I understood the size of the windows. Then it was just a matter of making sure all the required elements were included.

Week 4: Adobe Illustrator Map

This is the third time I had to do this over. I hope this is what you wanted. I ran into some problems with saving maps and I had to do this one in a very short time period. I was not able to get replace the missing outline of Marathon Key as I had very litttle time to do project after as earlier projects were lost.Please take this into consideration.

Week 4 Maps: Projections

Module 3 Map 2

When interpreting the data for population of African Americans in Escambia County Florida, there was a greater number of regions with a very low population percentage. With this high number of low population over most parts of the county,I felt that this was the best representation of the data. Also in this map one can see the higher density of the African American population in and around the major cities which would be helpful if a company were targeting a specific audience.

Module 3 Map 1

I started this lab by showing all four methods on one map in order to get an idea as to which method was a better representation of the data given. In this map one can see the differences to each classification type and from this I was able to determine which types best fit the distribution African Americans in Escambia County Florida.
