Week 7 - Proportional Symbols

In this lab, I created a proportional circle map. The idea was to create a map to show wine consumption in Europe for 2005.  The data used, is provided by the Wine Institute (http://www.wineinstitute.org/ and is cited as the data source on the map. Specifically, Table 5.1 World Wine Consumption is the data source.  The link for the data is http://www.wineinstitute.org/files/WorldWine%20ConsumptionbyVolume.pdf .  The European wine consumption data was already in an Excel® file so that made that part much easier. Germany was missing so I added that from the source mentioned above. Note that the data is in thousands of Hectoliters per year and was annotated on the legend.

Below are UWF map requirements:

• Create your proportional symbol map by utilizing the conventional mathematical scaling (Square Root) method for determining the sizes of circles.

• Use Excel to calculate circle size
• Use ArcMap to create the base map
• Use Adobe Illustrator to complete the map
• Make sure you include all required map elements are clearly evident

Now I think I will go have a nice glass of Merlot.
