Week 6 Choropleth Maps

In this assignment I worked with making Choropleth Maps. My first map in which you see above is the percentage change in population by state. This map I found it very easy to put together. I did not have much trouble at all.



In my second map I had to calculate the percentage change in population by divisions. I am not sure I had did this correctly by seeing other students maps but I am going with it. I put it together to my understanding of the assignment. If there is something I did wrong then please feel free to let me know. This is how I understood the assignment. I did not get to post the second map last night because right after I posted the first one my internet crashed and so did cable and it did not come back on. That was at 1 am Wed morning. I guess cable had an issue and lost there signal so I went to bed and did not get to finish my second map till now.

Wow what a challenge this one was. I work in photoshop all the time but not to this degree. I learned a lot that I also could do in photoshop as well as illustrator. My biggest challenge was finding all the right things I needed. I also looked at other blogs and seen how different everyone is about there designs. I enjoyed this lab assignment.

I had a lot of trouble with this assignment. I don't think I completed all the way but I ran out of time. The remote desktop gave me a lot of problems.
