Excercise 5

Minorities in Idaho
The map layout is somewhat simple in color with some smaller embellishments (legend drop shadow, subdued N. arrow, title masking). I experienced some trouble in working with the legend and related dots for label boxes. I changed the project to a state plane that seemed to better portray the state of Idaho.






Capital City Populations
For this map I decided to leave the legend is frameless, perhaps helping to more closely associate symbols with features. The north arrow is more decorative than my typical choice but perhaps more typical of global mapping. Map elements were used to help sort of frame the globe (legend, credits, N. arrow). I experienced some trouble due to my inexperience with graduated symbol mapping.

Hawaiian & Pacific Islanders, Buffalo NY.
In this map I made use of some color, and a more decorative symbol for the proportional map symbol of this map. I did experienced some trouble in setting up proportional symbols partially due to my lack of experience in this area of map making.
