"Are They Ready?"

The first in a three week series that presents ACT 2009 scores of high school graduates and their preparation for college. The map shows the participation percentage of graduates for each state with composite scores, along with the percent of those that met the benchmark scores, which show college readiness.

Potential Wind Farms

Here is the Potential Wind Farms map. I used several other online resource maps to help me narrow down these locations, including but not limited to wind potential maps, habitat maps, Indian reservation maps, earthquake fault maps and environmental sensitivity maps.

Isarithmic Map

This is my Isarithmic Map. I had some trouble getting the numbers in, and eventually settled on putting them below their respective lines. The data range is 40-75 and intervals of five were used.

Extra Credit Dot Map

Here's my extra credit map for Catrography. I wanted to experiment with dot maps a bit.

Immigration Flow Map

Here is the Immigration Flow Map. I really had fun learning the ins and outs of Illustrator! I'll definitely be using these skills in future maps.

Florida Dot Map

Here is the dot map. Thank goodness for MP3 players, I almost fell asleep putting all of the dots on. The final map was definately worth all of the work though! It wasn't too difficult after calculating the amount of dots needed, just repetetive.

European Wine Consumption 2005

Here is my Week 8 map. I tried to keep the legend as condensed as possible without sacrificing functionality. The scale seemed to be off due to the projection and I could not find a fix for this. If there is any way to remedy this please let me know so that I may fix it in the future!
