Week 6: Chloropleth Maps (part 3 - update)

Well, I realized that I didn't understand the instructions the first time around, so I decided that I should go back and try complete this assignment the right way! :) Working in ArcMap, I created new layers for each division and I changed the base colors to match a chloropleth legend scale. However, there was a layer detail that I couldn't identify that kept making the New England Division a darker gray than I intended...so I selected each New England state in Adobe Illustrator and changed the gray to a lighter tone. I'm not happy with the scaling on Alaska and would do a few other things to improve this map aesthetically, but I will focus on these functions in future assignments. Argh...that was a matter of back-tracking to catch up from two weeks of being inundated with my other work. ...back on track now !!! :)
