Lab 6 Proportional & Bivariate

As you can see from the first map proportional images can be quite useful for mapping information that can be negative and positive. For this map we created two layers in order to show a negative growth and a positive one with appropriate symbology for both and legend that accurately shows the size of differences. For the second map we used a  bivariate choropleth mapping method to show the relationship between two variables. In order to do this correctly the data had to be normalized and had to be reorganized in a way to create a new symbol for the new relationship data. This also involved creating a 3X3 color chart based on the percentage of each variable the color had to be complementary and be able to blend well so that any patterns could be easily distinguished in the map.
