Mapping a Journey Of Maps

My quest to map out my journey through ArcGis; it's faults, failures, and greatest success

My first map in this class and I think what started my love for it. Sure it may look a mess of barely understandable colors, but that mess of colors started this journey. Here is where I learned the importance of contrasting colors, good layouts, and presentation.

The zombie outbreak. I think it was one of my favorites. Here I combined two of my favorite things, map-making and storytelling. I wanted to add more to this map by making it like a government leaflet highlighting the danger of a zombie outbreak. It shows the limitless power of visual storytelling.

My third project. Here is where I learned about the proper layering of attributes. As it turns out it's kinda hard making a bunch of different data legible on top of each other!

This is a blob. A blob called my final project! This spatial analysis is the product of far too many hours hunched over the Census. For several years now I've worked on political campaigns always with the concern that strategy is too based on guesswork. Here is an (attempted) rationalized breakdown of gathered demographic factors, hotspot analysis, and a myriad of learned skills to break down a community on social lines that can be targeted for politics.

Here is my finale. I can't say I'm a fan of ArcOnline. While I've learned to use it I have to say that, frankly, it's really clunky. But, here is a map of the United States, its roads connecting its' historic sites, parks, and great nature.
