Choropleth map

This was an intersting assignment. It was difficult to make the map visually pleasing but it turned out okay. I didn't want to add greytone inside the neatline, I think it looks better with white background.

Irish in West Virginia

This was a fun but time consuming lab. The orientation of the dots could be better but overall I'm pretty happy with it.

Clear typography

I liked the typography used in this map of the Antarctica. It's very sharp and easy to read.

Lab 4: Typography

I loved this lab! Lots of detailed work and it didn't turn out perfect but it was so much fun. :-D Some of the letters are a bit crooked but I'm pretty happy with the final map. Does someone actually get to do this stuff for a living?

Mollweide Graticule

Lab #3 was about drawing a Mollweide projection. Not too difficult to do although required some simple math to determine the grid size. Scale is 1:157,776,200 (i.e. 1 inch on the map represents 157,776,200 inches in real life).
