For this weeks lab assignment the focus is on typography. I was given a National Park Service map of Harper's Ferry National Park in West Virginia and was tasked with replicating the text labels with the use of Illustrator. Evaluation of my map will be based on how closely I am able to mimic the National Park Service map. I certainly have a new appreciation for type and cartographers and the work they do. While this was not a technically difficult task it was very time consumming to get my map to match the one belonging to the National Park Service. Admittedly, my map is not an exact replica, but it's pretty darn close and I'm very proud of it.
