Mexicofinalproject
I wanted to add in an eco-friendly, go-green symbol, but after a few attempts I realized it would make the map too chaotic.  Also, I left the Mexico basemap relatively unchanged because I wanted to emphasize the grassroots proportional symbols.  Enjoy.

Imaginarymap
I enjoyed the imaginary map because it was very subjective and allowed that extra creative freedom, which I like very much.

Organic-producers-by-geographical-regions-2007_2
This map was interesting because Africa, Asia, and Latin America have a ton more organic producers than North America or Oceania (Europe isn't doing too bad though)...The correlation seems to be that as income decreases, food quality increases, as many of these geographical regions are still "developing" countries and do not have the financial means to access fertilizers, pesticides, and other harsh chemicals.

The green came out much brighter than on Adobe.  The classes for the choropleth on Adobe were also much easier to distinguish, but that's ok.  Central North Carolina seems to be the most affluent (per capita income & Bachelor's Degree) region.

Bivariate
Instead of a typical U.S. map, I found a bivariate choropleth calculating 2002 population density & % population change from 1989-2002 of Russia's central federal district.  The highest pop. density is in the center-north and the southern regions.  The same goes for the % pop. change.  I wonder what the trend is (must be around Moscow or St. Petersburg)...

This lab took a very long time, but out of most of my maps this semester I am very proud of this one.  My biggest issue was clipping, which I tried to figure out for hours upon hours in the Robinson lab, but could never catch.  So I chose my next best option.  I zoomed in to 1200% and erased as much as I could around the edges...I hope everyone still likes it.  The text on the right says "Breaking News: Smerg Has Infiltrated the Piedmont Watersheds", which are the inlets on the east coast.

I enjoyed the step-like visual of this map, with light peach revealing negative population change and up the chain to dark purple, indicating a positive population change.

Lab8color

Finally, we can work in color!  I really like the bright blue & bright red contrasts, but they came out most vibrantly on the digital (web).  My printed version is a little more dull in value and the title did not print out correctly at all (must be the geog lab printer)....I would like to learn how to put in pictures, because I really wanted a wrench or some sort of image indicating construction or manual labor.  Oh well.

This is a Texas election map between McCain & Obama (2008).  I wonder why the southern tip is democrat (along with parts of the west), because the overwhelming majority is republican.

I mapped West Virginia's Irish Population with around 2,000 dots.  The clover was hand-drawn too. It wasn't easy!

My friend originally posted this frightening map on facebook, but I was searching through google maps and stumbled on it again. Each dot represents a Mcdonald's location.  There are a lot, eh?

I decided to go for a gothic style, considering it is almost Halloween...

This pdf is kind of long (19 pages), but it has interesting tips for working in Ai.

This is my natural break map.  It has slightly more variability than the equal interval.

This is my equal interval map.  Variability is very low, but consistency is very high.

The only issue with this World Cities Population Map is that there is no city labeling!  Other than the absence of titles, I really like the general layout of this piece.

Here is my fourth lab, titled boundaries.  I had a hard time making Virginia, Maryland, and D.C. all appear visually distinct from one another, since I could only highlight individual counties and not states.  Enjoy

This map reveals Florida's swine flu outbreak in 2009.  The northern, central, and southern regions seem to have the highest number of outbreaks, with the in-between regions virtually spotless.  I wonder why
