Above is a map of the South Florida Hispanic population by county. It was generated in Adobe Illustrator from data provided by UWF. As the legend indicates, the most densely populated regions are darker blue and the less dense are lighter blue. The most challenging aspect of generating this map was creating the color theme. The process of selecting appropriate colors (i.e. colors that 'worked well' together) was more difficult than expected. After trouble shooting, I found a relatively useful color scheme using blue. The blue color ramp may be the most contrasting and easiest to differentiate scheme for a chloropleth map. Overall, the process allowed for me to freely navigate through AI's color toolbar and other options.
