For this assessment you are asked to submit ONE document containing FOUR maps showcasing the skills you have learnt in the practical classes. Each map should be accompanied by a paragraph (around 200-300 words) explaining the choices you made in creating your maps; for example map style, layout, symbology, fonts, map projection.

• The document should be in PDF format created from a word processor containing high-resolution maps exported from ArcMap (not screenshots). Make sure your maps are legible.

• You will be provided with sources for data to complete the tasks, but you are encouraged to find and use more data where possible.

• Your portfolio will be assessed on the clarity of cartography, accuracy of data and appropriateness of analytical techniques.
