I found this interesting, reminded me of Lab 3 (Mollweide). Hope you are able to zoom in for a better view.

A late posting of Lab 10. As the adage goes better late than never.

This is a re-posting of the final project with accompanying info. The project is a map of recorded fatal injuries occurring at work places across the US for the year 2007. The data for this project was mainly gathered from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) www.bls.gov . These were cross-referenced with data from Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) www.osha.gov, US Census www.census.gov , and from some particular state such as California http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlsr/statistics_research.html and www.doli.state.mn.us/mnosha . The project is still a work in progress and although it does not currently depict two attributes, the dot format was very time consuming and in the spirit of meeting the deadline, it was necessary to produce something albeit a tad short of the specifications. As mentioned during the presentation I initially found using the shadow effects quite challenging, but I have since practiced some more with it and I think I am beginning to get the hung of it. I am also contemplating on revisiting the project and creating a bivariate map using the same data just to see how it turns out. So keep checking for coming attractions.
