Map: Greater Los Angeles

Information Strategies:

This map uses highlighting to make the downtown areas of the city stand out by using the color orange. This is effective as the color is easily noticed but does not over power the remaining colors on the map (green and yellow). Proximity is used within the downtown core of the map with the buildings being so close together therefore referencing their belonging with one another. Orientation sensitivity (pop-out effect) is evident on this map also in the downtown area. The buildings “pop-out” as figure elements (3D) and therefore are easily detected.
