Mean annual precipitation in Georgia in inches using 5 inch contour lines and continuous tone shading.

Immigration Flow Map

Stylized flow map from origin to destination by world region 2007 using a World Robinson projection. Illustrator's smallest stroke is a .25 so the size of the largest arrow was determined to be 70 pts by using the formula (max line width) x (value / max value).

Non-Contiguous Cartogram

Contiguous Cartogram

I chose to leave the contiguous map at ten iterations. The legend was determined by Jenks breaks and then getting the mean of each group. Japan was added to give a better idea visually of the difference from the US and the numbers below otherwise the highest number seemed too extreme to gauge any information.

Dot Density Map

Each dot represents 4 housing units at a size of .8pt per dot. Red dots were used to contrast with the other map elements. Only counties of higher density were labeled as I thought those would be of interest.
