Unit 10, Deliverable 1

I spent a lot of time removing and adding different labels on the map. The hospital labels seemed to distract more than aid the overall design, so I took out all the labels and used the legend instead. The legend looks busy, but I believe it's overall easier to read that way than the with the map covered in labels.

My biggest pitfall with this map was the line of site. It was very frustrating, but I finally realized that I missed putting the DEM into a coordinate system. When I figured that out, it all went smoothly after that. For this deliverable I decided to take off the other observation points on the stadium so that the graph represented the only point on the map. On my 3d image, I kept the other observation points.

Unit 9, Deliverable 2

This is the required screen shot for deliverable 2 after section 3.5. Again, the project was straight forward so no hang-ups to report. I think the most telling learning experience would be the organizing of data, rather than the use of data. Most of the directions were closer to recapping previous exercises, and I found that I understood what and why processes were done the way they were. However, organizing the data was all new and I learned a lot from that aspect of the lessons.

Unit 9, Deliverable 1

Straight forward assignment for this one, no issues that I came into. I like making these maps real simple, as if it were for emergency use. I found that coloring in the bay area, or making the counties something other than hollow, started to make the map more artistic rather than a tool. I wanted to design this one so that it could be easily referenced by someone who's first thought isn't "wow, pretty map" but rather "...this community is in the BAUA zone...". I hope that makes since.

Unit 8 -- Deliverable 3

I worked a lot with trying to make both the crime density layer as well as the population layer visible for the three maps. I think I got it pretty close to perfect. Some of the census blocks directly underneath the highest density areas of the crime map are difficult to read, but a view can still get a good idea of the numbers.

Unit 8 -- Deliverable 2

I simply liked this map, so I'm posting it here. I didn't really have any of the issues with this lab, most of it flowed smoothly.
