I have continued to meet with Dr. Karr to discuss the four maps and to make them as easily comprehensible as possible. We decided to map the confirmed number of elevated BLL cases per 10,000 children, per 10,000 housing units and per 10,000 pre-1950 housing units. The last map shows the decrease in percentage per year from 2006 to 2009. The designated counties were labeled with their name and appropriate value. Extent windows, scale bars, and North arrows were added to each map to make each one look more professional when by itself.
In addition to fixing up the maps, I put together my poster for Academic Celebration. This is only a rough draft that was critiqued in class. There are a lot of little things to fix that I will have to do before the end of the week. To name a few things that have to be changed, the text boxes should have a white background and should be made smaller. I can get rid of the results section and add figure captions explaining the maps instead to make more room for the maps. In addition, the maps should be enlarged, since they should be the main focus of the poster.
