I thought the initial challenge in doing this map was how to display the information. The examples that are shown in the front page of the blog were outstanding examples. I would have liked to have produced a map similar to one of those, but I didn't have the time (or perhaps knowledge?) to manipulate the individual regions effectively. But something that I want to learn how to do!
At first I thought the use of the Adobe Illustrator pen tool was frustrating, but started getting a feel for it after a period of trail and error. It's a real valuable tool to know how to use. I do like the color choices that are available in Adobe Illustrator as it enhances the artistic possibilities that are availble to the cartographer. It seems to get easier every week. Whew!
