Lab 6, total percentage of state parks per state!

While working with color produces a more aesthetic product, it presented a bigger challenge trying to get a range of colors that work in concert with one another. I do believe that the light blue background fill I chose, combined with the radial gradient, mesh extremely well with the yellow/orange color ramp I picked. However, I am a bit worried that after countless minutes of experimentation with the color ramp, a better option for a color ramp exists. The title has been reworded and now it is easier to decipher the exact phenomena that is mapped. When contrasting and comparing the colors between my printed product and the computer based version, the colors appear to be quite similar. Although I believe my jumps between colors aren't one hundred percent crisp, I am happy that the colors between the computer based version and printed version remain true. I also added a small snippet of how to read the data classified within my map in hopes of eliminating any confusion with the data I chose.
