ANALYSIS OF: Visual Hierarchy

what I see thoughts on why relation to the message

Thick dark lines stand out as the roads.

Bright blue polygonsas water

Natural colors as land

Numbers fotted around,one in each square

There are many lines on thismap but the roads are thickerthan the others.

They are the brightes featureson the map.

Stands out from the water and clearly depicts a mountain.

Each square has a numberand thge numbers increase asthey ascend the mountain.

Have no real use on thismap, only there for visualpurposes.

Stands out as areas youwill not find gold.

The land shows where you will find gold while being portioned by the grid.

The numbers represent the gold density in each square and there is clearly much more gold higher up the mountain than there is at the ground level.
