My area of interest is the state of Wisconsin. I went with the state system, NAD 1983 Wisconsin TM (US Feet), because, for the State Plane Zones, Wisconsin has three state plane zones and, for the UTM Zones, Wisconsin was split in half by UTM Zone 15 and 16. Because of this, I felt it was more appropriate to use a state system for the projection.

For this map, I wanted to make sure that prominent things like city names and island names were prominent, so I made those labels bigger than the other features like parks and hills. I also put the parks layer on top of the streets layer since it was more important to label.
