This is a bivariate map I did on Illustrator that combines choropleth and proportional symbol. It simultaneously shows the percentage of children living in poverty by county in North Carolina and the number of overweight 2-4 year olds in those counties. I was surprised by the counties that had lower poverty rates and higher numbers of overweight children. I really enjoyed mapping two variables, although it was a bit challenging at times to find the data. I tried out a couple of different things on this map, such as, using a dark background. Overall, I'm very happy with the way this map turned out and really enjoyed using color. I'm leaning towards modifying my final project to include another variable so I can do a bivariate map.
