Isarithmic Mapping

This week we were to create an isohyet map illustrating mean annual precipitation for the state of Georgia using Adobe Illustrator to draw the isolines. Drawing the contours was the easy part. I wanted to shade between the lines but COULD NOT figure it out. I wasted a lot of time trying to make it work.

Immigration Flow Map

This week we had to construct a distributive flow map of immigration to the United States. We were given data from the US Department of Homeland Security to use in order to calculate the appropriate flow line width for the map you see above. The most time consuming part of this assignment was separating the regions.

Dot Distribution Maps

This week I was assigned to make a Dot Distribution Map showing the number of housing units in Florida counties based on data collected during the 2000 census. The only problem I had was the amount of time it took to place all the dots.
