These choropleth maps had a few challenges. Adobe Illustrator is still the biggest challenge, but I think I learned a bit more about managing the layers. The grayscale map was a little easier after gaining the initial map set-up in map 1, but it took a little bit to work through the Excel worksheet. Also I learned a bit more about data classification between the two maps and it shows how you can produce a different looking map with classifying the data in a different manner. If I would have had the time, I would have like to pick a different gradient for the classifications in the first map.
Good job Rusty. I would like to see more balance in these maps. There is a lot of white space.
