The task for Lab 8 was to create a proportional symbol map. The symbols in this map are cowbells, representing the number of cattle and calves sold in the state of Maryland in 1997. Small technical problems with Adobe Illustrator came together to make it rather difficult to create a convincing cowbell symbol and provided for a frustrating experience in general. On the other hand, I spent some time working with the dropshadow effect around the map and legend and feel as though the effect gives the map a little something extra.
