Project 2.

Below is my submission for project 2.  Let's just say I have  a new respect for the people who actually label all these little features on maps...

HERE  is the assignment....

I found the assignment challenging going between labels and annotation, I kept thinking I could change things in the annotation that was a labeling feature...  Needless to say, I have made quite a few annotation classes in the process.  I enjoyed being able to be meticulous in this assignment, except for the river layer, it may not be as good as the other labels due to having the stomach bug while trying to finish....

I have attached two finals, one with a legend one without, personally I like the one without better, but that is probably coming from knowing what all the symbols mean since I made them....  let me know which you prefer in your comments please.

  1. Agree, I like the one without the legend, but map viewers might need thew detail. I like how you made the legend two rows. The white background may make the legend stick out too much. Could soften the look by adding a color.

  2. I think the colors for the states would work better if they were more muted by upping the transparency. Right now the annotations seem to almost disapear.

    With the map without the legend the title needs to move to the center.
