The above image shows a simplified version of a Land Cover, multi-attribute raster of the Yellowstone area. I began by combining the tree cover variables into the vegetation type, independent of their more specific classification (post-disturbance, climax). Afterwards, I selected my colors to most closely resemble vegetation, while maintaining enough of a difference in shade to make them easily distinguishable to the eye. Water was made blue, and Aspen was made dark purple to stand out.
Next, the raster was made 60% translucent, and placed over an elevation raster, enhanced with a multidirectional hillshade effect to show the variety of the landscape underneath.
I initially intended to insert a pie chart to show the percentages of each category in the map above, but ArcMap Pro seemed to only give me options for a histogram and scatterplot. I found both of these graphs to be less appealing, and decided to keep the design simple.
