W11 Dot Mapping

Process Summary

·         Copy data from R drive to S drive

·         Open Floridadot.ai in Illustrator

·         Open GCT_PH1.xls in Excel

·         Copy counties to be used to another tab

·         Compute number of houses per dot to have at least one dot per county

·         Will use 1 dot =5000

·         Test .7pt dot as recommended.  Will use since I can’t figure out how to make larger as a group

·         Place dots according to spreadsheet computations for each required county

·         Trying to make dots appear closer to other dots according to county housing units

·         Added Title, Legend, Source, Produced and arranged items to appear visually correct

·         Working on background color, no luck, out of time

·         Wetland layer messing with me with the image

·         Save map as Floridadot_BED.ai

·         Export map to Floridadot.jpg

·         Upload items to Blog and Dropbox

·         Back up folder to H drive
