This week there were three maps created using some similar elements and I really enjoyed creating them. All of them had to do with Mexico in some way elevation, population density, or urban areas. I think that my favorite was the elevation map because that is more along the lines of the data that I one day hope to work in scientific data so I really did like this one. Below are my map examples:
 |
| Mexico State Population Size |
 |
| Urban Areas of Central Mexico |
 |
| Surface Elevation in Meters of Mexico |
One of the neat things about the Urban Area of Central Mexico map is that my cousins lived in Guadalajara for a few years and I was able to go visit them, it was a very neat experience. Also, my sister did a study abroad in Puebla for a semester. Previously I wasn't sure in Mexico where it was in relation to other cities but I have a better idea now! Some of the challenges that I faced while completing this lab is that I was very nit picky about the display of things and worked very hard on the presentation of elements in these maps. I will say that from my previous GIS classes, I am missing Adobe Illustrator because of the ease of manipulating things like text and colors. I sure do hope that we get into that program in the class.
