This is a collection of the mapping projects I produced in Geography 280 - Introduction to Cartography - during the fall of 2002. Each project involved learning a set of skills and functions necessary to produce quality maps. GIS software (ArcMap) as well as Adobe graphics applications (Illustrator and Photo shop) were the primary tools used to create the figures presented here. Figure 1 is a locational map of my home away from home in Eau Claire, WI. Figure 2 is a collection of various maps (choropleth, dot density , and proportional symbol maps) all created in AcrMap and then exported into Adobe Illustrator where text and visual accents were added and the maps could be arranged in a pleasent and readable layout.
Figure 3 is a aerial photo map. This map was made by first combining four seperate photographs into one image. The bodies of water were then filled with color in Adobe photo shop to better define their boundaries. Lastly, using the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator, I traced over the network of roads, adding labels, symbols, and a title to complete the above map.
