This is my Week 4 result. The intent was to produce three different map projections of Florida, as well as a table (I created it in Excel and pasted it into the ArcMap layout) that showed figures for the area of each of 4 Florida counties. You may not be able to see it in the graphic, but county area differs from 1 to nearly 20 square miles depending on the map projection used (Miami-Dade, down at the bottom of the state, had the greatest discrepancy). The discrepancies are significant, but they are not big enough to be visible on these small-scale (and small!) maps.
Most of this was relatively straightforward. I removed the visible frame around each data frame so that it wouldn't look so strange having one north arrow and one scale bar for three maps. Not shown is the aggravation I had trying to reproject the undefined aerial photo (not shown in this graphic) of the UWF campus. Although I managed to get something to display in the correct county, I was unable to redefine the original file correctly. Projection still seems a bit like magic to me, magic that I haven't yet mastered.
Good job Dilys. Try to reserve blue for water.
