Lab 9; Color YEAH!!

I also used Green like Aaron due to the military nature of the topic: Vet population. However, I stuck with the ColorBrewer colors due to my lack of creative ability :-) I made a few changes with stoke width and changed the colors of my Hawaii and Alaska outline boxes. I liked the rounded edges and colors/symbology that other students have used and wish I could learn Illustrator quicker and know how to do them.

The colors looked good between the printed and the JPG, however I would have made the lightest shade green a little darker. It is easier to see the class differences in the color version. However, neighboring states affect how you see the shades. Utah and Texas are the same, but Utah looks darker due to the darker neighboring states.
