Lab 4: Creating Boundary Files for Illustrator and Making a Map

For this map I used ArcGIS to get state and county boundary files for Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia which I then used in Illustrator to make a unique map. I liked being able to decide which font to use and where to place the labels etc., but it was sometimes frustrating to get things exactly the way I wanted. Also, I was able to experience first hand the issues that come with map making, for example, where to place the label for the District of Columbia.
