GIS3015: Module 3 Lab - Typography

In this lab I created a map of Marathon, FL showing its parks and cities.  I started off using ArcGIS, in which I also created a map inset, showing what part of Florida Marathon is located.  I then brought it over to Adobe Illustrator and labeled all of the island keys, water bodies, parks and cities.  I used different symbols from the Illustrator library to show the parks and cities.  I also created a legend, showing what those symbols represent.

Map of Florida

For my second assignment in Cartography, I created a map of Florida in both ArcMap and Adobe Illustrator. In ArcMap, I brought in the counties and added the major cities and surface water, with shapefiles provided. I then exported the map and opened it in Adobe Illustrator. Since my career path used to be graphic design, I am very familiar with this software.  I added the state flower, state animal and state flag.  I also provided a drop shadow to all three of these images, making them stand out more.
