Excuse the quality, Had to be converted to JPEG.
The above map is of Washington D.C. Ward 7 schools.
The objectives of this assignment were for me to be able to implement visual hierarchy in my map creation, apply contrast, employ figure-ground to make important features seem closer, achieve map balance, symbolize layers by category, and create an inset map. I implemented a visual Hierarchy in my map with the symbology I chose for my streets. I chose very visually stimulating colors for all of my roads. white for city roads, red for highways, and grey for major roads. this draws the eye to the specific area I want and guides the viewer through the map using the contrasting lines that run through it. to balance the map I centered the map and used the inset map and legend to create a feeling of symmetry. The map was created using ArcGIS.
