Lab 5

I enjoyed how this lab gave me freedom to try out the most efficient way to match unmatched addresses. I found the best way was to have one monitor open on Google Maps, searching by school name to find the address. The second monitor was on my project, with the unmatched addresses open. I would select "locate" paste the Google Maps address, and assign a point by picking from the map. Overall, this lab went smoothly.

About Me

I joined the Master's of GIS Administration at University of West Florida because of my desire to pursue a career path heavily centered around GIS. I took an Intro to GIS course during undergrad, and I use it heavily in my professional life. The University of West Florida's program is the perfect fit because I can still work full time, and go to school full time. When I complete this program, I am going to either pursue a career as a GIS Manager at a public, research-based entity or continue my way through academia. Whatever my decision, I know I'll have a solid and unique skillset to bring to any position.  My Story Map Link

The objectives of this week's lab were focused on cartographic design in ArcGIS Pro, applying map design principles, explaining design choices based on an audience, and applying different typographic styles, including placement, to achieve legibility, visual contrast and hierarchy. Looking the attached map, I believe I achieved the five map design principles represented in my map.  Map one: I addressed the map principles of figure-ground organization and visual contrast by choosing a darker color to represent Travis County, and brighter, lighter colors to represent the individual layers. I achieved legibility by choosing a legible font in black text, and sticking with the same font/color for the entire map. Lastly, I achieved hierarchical organization and balance by placing the features like recreation centers on top of features like the County, water bodies and roads, which centering Travis County with a landscape template in the center of the paper. Map three: I used text (type, ...

I chose to use the USA Contiguous Lamber Conformal Conic coordinate system for the State of Ohio. I had chosen this one over coordinate systems that I compared like WGS 1984 UTM Zone 18N and NAD 1983 StatePlane Ohio North and NAD 1983 StatePlane Ohio South. The reason I chose the USA Contiguous Lamber Conformal Conic System was because I felt it best represented Ohio as a whole, rather than Northern or Southern Ohio.
