Cartographic Skills Final Project

This is my finished product for the final assignment for this class. I started by using the basemap from a previous lab (the shapefile was called state_pop), then went to the ACT website and copied the data from the 2013 list into an Excel spreadsheet. From there I imported the spreadsheet into ArcMap, joined that data with the state_pop shapefile, added a few elements from ArcMap, then imported it to Adobe Illustrator to create the final product.
