Well, much like my quick post from earlier this week, the project went together much faster once I purchased Ortelius. It made constructing maps very easy and straightforward. I was also able to rework my Sketchup skills with a more eloquent 3D rendering.
What I am trying to prove here is that through a spacial analysis of the settlement at Manakin Town that one can determine that the refugees still clung to their French cultural identity, which slowly became integrated into colonial Virginia society. To do this, I looked at where the Huguenots settled, how they planned on establishing their community, and then how things were actually put into place. The last part of the project takes a (mostly incomplete) look at how even their architecture was still predominantly French, until successive generations were born and assumed more English styles. (I could use some help with this, Lindsey!)
Let me know how you think it turned out!
I apologize if my PDF files act strangely, InDesign lumped pages 2 and 3 together, so they look smaller. I will have this fixed for the final project.
It looks as though you exported as an interactive or web-based PDF. Try exporting it as a Print PDF (the option is when the export window pops up, there should be a little pull-down menu). That will help if it keeps lumping things, and it will give it a straight linear page layout.
I find your fonts to work very well. What did you use for the captions?
Orteilus saves the day!

Your maps look great! They definitely help illustrate the difference between intended plans and execution. And I really like the way you decided to include all migration trends in your context map.
Maybe I should have invested in Ortelius.
