Module 3

 This week we were tasked with creating a map of Ward 7 in the District of Columbia. To accomplish this we layered the provided data and chose applicable colors, line sizes and labels. We used annotating labels again, as well as curving text. This map was a practice in Gestalt's Principles of visual hierarchy. I chose light colors for the background colors and darker colors to the symbols to add contrast and establish a figure-ground relationship. I incorporated balance by applying the legend and inset map in the blank background space.
