Drawing
• I drew thousand of particles and tried to symbolize the percentage of migration population.( I divided population by 3000.) I used pink color because It was suitable for map color.
• I also used dark circles to symbolize each main cities in United States.
• The green light wave was from tutorial which I learned to allowed people to interact with the percentage of migration from different races.
