Lab 5 - chapt 19

This chapter is a bit complex so I did not change whole feature in different layers. However, I will try to use different cartographic styles in future assignments.





Save the Tiger!

Lab 5 - chapt18

Assignment:
This assignment is similar in structure to lab 4. Please complete Chapters 18 and 19 in
your Getting to Know ArcGIS 10 books. There aren't any questions for this week’s
assignment, but I would like you to experiment with different cartographic styles.
Change the final map product for each exercise in both chapters, giving you a total of
eight customized maps. By customize, I mean I’d like you to apply the basic
cartographic principles learned in class to change the final product from each exercise
into a map personally designed by you. I want you to start getting comfortable with
creating maps and using different cartographic styles. The more practice you get, the
better your map layouts will become.
Note: Starting with this lab, all maps you export to your blog must include the four fundamental
map elements - title, legend, scale, north arrow. Experiment with creating layouts which include
photos, text, and locator or inset maps to enhance your design skills.
