I obviously don't know how to change the output into landscape. That being said, the overall project was quiet enjoyable. I'm starting to learn the ins and outs of ArcGIS, so using it to make such interesting maps is borderline magical. I've been inspired by this class to get a GIS certificate, which will increase my proficiency level. This series of maps explains the difference in the total number of people by county in the 10 year span between 1990 and 2000. The next map is the overall population by county in 2000, followed by the percent change by county, and the population density by county. The world is growing exponentially, and we are still incredibly luckily to have the resources available that we do in this country. That is going to change, and this series of maps speaks volumes to that fact.
About 11,000 years ago, the world had roughly 6 million people. Today we have breached 7 billion people. I would enjoying doing a projection similar to this set of models, but by extrapolating into 30 or 50 years in the future (I'm sure this has been done). Also, if someone could tell me how to put my landscape file into a horizontal format, that would be wonderful.
