Module 7: Choropleth Mapping

The purpose of this assignment was to practice making choropleth maps in both ArcMap and Adobe Illustrator.  Choropleth maps can be used to express standardized values of a phenomenon between several enumeration units; in this case, enumeration units were states (top) and census districts (bottom).  Both of these maps were first made in ArcMap, then edited in Adobe Illustrator.  Exporting files to the .ai file format has continuously caused me problems that are ultimately manifested in the finished map product.  Both maps do, however, show a general trend of population increase in the "Mountain" region of the U.S.
