Behold, a clanking steaming hissing whirring mechanistic look at the closeness and turnout for the 2016 US presidential election. Why? I\u2019ll get to that later. For now, I invite you to immerse yourself into the steampunk<\/a> anachronism and suspend all impulses of pesky modern and post-modern decorum and restraint.

I\u2019ve cobbled together some graphic assets that we\u2019ll use as point symbology.

A word about sizing. I am working within a map frame that has been added to a layout. I find that, if you are making a static map, when you are done with your analysis and data management then it\u2019s a good idea to add your map to a layout and work in that environment. So I just adjusted the picture size in the symbology panel until the watch faces were spaced how I wanted them. Then, to lock them down, I set the map\u2019s reference scale (so their relative size\/arrangement doesn\u2019t change if I zoom in or out of the active map).<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":693702,"id":693702,"title":"Pro3","filename":"Pro3.png","filesize":42027,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pro3.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/steampunk-election-cartogram-pt-1\/pro3","alt":"","author":"6971","description":"","caption":"","name":"pro3","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":693452,"date":"2020-01-03 21:36:26","modified":"2020-01-03 21:36:26","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":678,"height":490,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pro3-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pro3.png","medium-width":361,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pro3.png","medium_large-width":678,"medium_large-height":490,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pro3.png","large-width":678,"large-height":490,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pro3.png","1536x1536-width":678,"1536x1536-height":490,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pro3.png","2048x2048-width":678,"2048x2048-height":490,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pro3-643x465.png","card_image-width":643,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pro3.png","wide_image-width":678,"wide_image-height":490}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pro3.png"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Now it\u2019s time to bring in the watch face\u2019s crystal covering. Glossy reflective embellishments like this are what really sells this sort of stuff. The more layers of sneaky light-play you can introduce to the skeuomorphic environment, the more skeuomorphic-y it gets. And when it comes to skeuomorphism, might as skeuomorph it to\u202611<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Burning in Some Labels!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each watch face has the state\u2019s abbreviation and shape branded into the leather backing. These are just text labels. With two separate copies of the map layer, I leave the layer checked in the table of contents but then uncheck its symbol in the symbology panel (so we can see the labels, with no symbol). For both the abbreviation and shape icon labels I used a polygon style<\/em>. And so can you! It\u2019s just a simple little ArcGIS Pro style that looks slightly edge-blurred deep brown with varied darkness (download this style here<\/a>). Yes, you can and should totally use polygon styles on text (exhibit A<\/a>, exhibit B<\/a>).<\/p>\n

For each of the two layers, I set their properties to be centered directly over the point, and to \u201cnever remove\u201d labels.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":693732,"id":693732,"title":"Dialog5AB","filename":"Dialog5AB.png","filesize":12127,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dialog5AB.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/steampunk-election-cartogram-pt-1\/dialog5ab","alt":"","author":"6971","description":"","caption":"","name":"dialog5ab","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":693452,"date":"2020-01-03 21:41:33","modified":"2020-01-03 21:41:33","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":650,"height":920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dialog5AB-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dialog5AB.png","medium-width":184,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dialog5AB.png","medium_large-width":650,"medium_large-height":920,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dialog5AB.png","large-width":650,"large-height":920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dialog5AB.png","1536x1536-width":650,"1536x1536-height":920,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dialog5AB.png","2048x2048-width":650,"2048x2048-height":920,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dialog5AB-329x465.png","card_image-width":329,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dialog5AB.png","wide_image-width":650,"wide_image-height":920}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dialog5AB.png"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

I work in the ArcGIS Living Atlas team at Esri, pushing and pulling data in all sorts of absurd ways and then sharing the process. I also design user experiences for maps and apps. When I'm not doing those things, I'm chasing around toddlers and wrangling chickens, and generally getting into other ad-hoc adventures. Life is good.
