This weeks lab was a very basic introduction to Adobe Illustrator and how it can provide us with additional fine-tuning to maps, which we create in ArcMap. ArcMap does provide us with a wealth of options and data tools, however, Adobe Illustrator takes us to the next level of details and artistic flare. The above map is pretty standard. I added a background color to give it a bit more draw. During this lab, I really just focused on learning the tools in AI and how to manipulate them. I can see how using AI in the aid of ArcMap, can definitely provided a cartographer with a lot more options and design variety.
