Module 8 required us to create a dot distribution map for Florida housing units. We were given some data from the 2000 census to create this by county. The illustrator file contained some limiting attribute data so we were not showing housing units on unbuildable areas of the county (i.e. water, wetlands). I chose to show the data as raw data and not per square mile. I chose not to use any other color besides black. This led to a boring map but I felt it was a little more effective in the primary purpose than using color. Additional data would have been useful in creating a better distribution within each county however we were tasked with simply showing housing units in the state based on the county.
