Week 9: Flow Maps (my better attempt)

Hi Trisha...please note that this is not intended to be my bonus exercise...I wanted to have a history of my own decisions about "good" maps and bad maps. Please use this post for scoring my Week 9 assignment...thanks! :)

Well, I finished my first map and posted it, and then I wanted to go back and make it better ... so I used this lab as an opportunity to delve into greater details with AI. I still find some of the program to be cryptic ... my only real gripe is that I cannot figure out why sometimes the zoom tool permits a "zoom out" option and other times a different dropdown window is activated that does not have the zoom in/zoom out function. ...I am on a mission to figure out the key strokes that toggle between these two dropdown windows ... because it is REALLY difficult to zoom back to the full extent if you can't activate the darn zoom out tool! :) On a more serious note, I think I have created a better flow map in the second go-around.

  1. Hi Brian,

    I like this version better too. My only problem seems to be that the background is a tad too similar to some of the continents. They tend to fade away.
