I put all of the data filters on the right side of the dashboard as well as data credits and author information at the bottom right.

I used my middle mouse button to create a isometric view of the state of Illinois to better capture the 3D aspect of this. I oriented it so that Chicago was in the "top" of the map because I knew that the population "tower" would be far taller than any of the other counties and I did not want to block them. Again, we used the same yellow to orang...
