This week's module had us create a choropleth map of population density as well as a proportional symbol map of wine consumption by capita. For this map, I chose a purple color scheme because it is associated with luxury (wine) and it can also represent wine and grapes itself. The wine symbols are graduated symbols with 5 classes.
This module was challenging as I had issues finding a vector I liked for the wine consumption symbology. I ended up creating my own wine glass vectors using a phone app. I also struggled with lag in the ArcGIS Pro program, especially when I needed to adjust the symbology of layers or when I needed to adjust the country labels.
To create the Balkan countries' outline I selected the countries and exported them as a new feature. Then I used the 'Merge Tool' to merge them into a singular polygon. I chose the Natural Breaks classification method as I found that the data was naturally clustered and contained outliers.
