GIS-121 Working with labels


I learned a lot with this lab- like do not convert your labels to annotation until AFTER you have printed your map at least once and made all major changes to your labels that you would like to. Because once it has been converted, it's more time consuming to make the same changes (or I just haven't figured out how yet. :) ) I've learned that you can spend many hours just getting your labels "just so" and then look at it later and decide there are more changes that need to be made. I'm sure that once I start looking at everyone's maps, I will see tons of things that I will wish I had thought to do. So, I hope you enjoy, maybe see something you like. I look forward to reading your comment. Please be constructive, I want to learn to do this better.

GIS 121 Project 1 Map


Our first project. I think this is going to be a lot of fun. There is definitely a wide variety of ways that this project could be done. It will be interesting to see other's take on it.
