The purpose behind this lab, was to create a single output file showing differences in distortion between three projections; Albers, UTN and State Plane. The first challenge was to place all three maps on a single final canvas. The second, was to strategically place all the essential map elements to fit all the needed information.
I thought that a single north arrow, and a single legend could suffice for all three maps (I chose to make three separate scales, since different projections would have different areal distortions. Though it would be hardly noticible on a scale that size, I assumed that the length of the scale may be slightly different based on the projection used.)
I could have fit the necessary information on a single legend, but I thought that there was plenty of room for the second legend, describing area. I decided to take the latter approach, to use as much empty space as possible.
