Exercise 4 - Adam Oliver

I was given the Los Angeles and Hollywood Citymap. This map focuses on the districts, parks, streets and highways that make up LA. The principal of alignment is used in the grid system on the map used in the index to find streets. Numbers mark the grid blocks along the horizontal edge of the map and letters mark the vertical edge. (For example, Campbell St. is in grid block B-10) Alignment is also used in the perpendicular grid arrangement of most 'Principal through roads' and streets. Highlighting is used in a larger capitalized and bolded font used to label the districts than the font used to identify streets and highways. The principal of uniform connectedness is used to group similar types of roads together, for example, all freeways and interchanges are two dark pink lines bordered in black, while Principal Through Routes are single pink lines and streets are grey lines.
