Flow line Map

The above map was created using Adobe Illustrator for my Cartography course.  I was to display the data provided, using as may or as few "effects" as I felt were necessary to create the best visual effects possible. As you can see I only used  "shadow effect" on my flow lines and "3d effect" on both the title of the main map as well as the inset map. I did however experiment with several other "effects", but in the end chose only those two.

Possible Camp Site Locations

This week for my GIS Course I created the above map in ArcGIS. As the title states the map depicts possible Camp Sites within a given area. These sites were selected after analyzing provided vector data using Arc tools such as Buffer, overlay, and Arcpython.

Isometric Map

This map was created in Adobe Illustrator, using Grey Scale. It depicts the average annual rainfall for the state of Georgia.  This map took more time and effort than I at first thought would be necessary.  I actually printed a copy of the map and drew the isolines by hand, once that was complete I transferred them to the map using the "pencil tool in Adobe illustrator. After a little practice, found drawing the lines fairly easy. However, one needs to watch coffee consumption when working with the pen or pencil tool!

Proportional Symbol Maps

The above maps were created for my Cartography Course. They are proportional symbol maps. As the name implies they are simply maps on which phenomena is displayed by the use of symbols of varying size, in most cases the larger the symbol the greater the occurrence of the phenomena. Symbols can either be geometric such as circles, or squares, or pictographic such as wine bottles.
