02.03.10 Deliverable #1

No real problems with this except inexperience with the software. I wish ArcMap had an undo feature similar to that of MS Office products. One wrong click and I am starting all over. I also learned the importance of save, save, save.
I selected the yellow, orange, red color scheme to represent population data because the data is quantitative and the hue progression reflects the increase in population amounts.
Always a perfectionist, I also wish my city labels were cleaner and more legible. I wonder if there is a standard for placement of legend, scale and pointer? Should they be placed inside the map frame or should I re-size the map so these items are displayed along the borders?
