Exercise 4 - Joanne

One of the strategies used to convey information is highlighting. The map uses a different colour to highlight the water bodies from the landmasses. Another highlighting technique used in this map is with the use of bold and italics texts. In addition different fonts are used as well. Another strategy used is alignment. This map uses many complex forms of alignment, for example the names of the waters or water features are aligned in the same directions as the feature or along the ridge of the feature. Overall this map works for me because it is very similar to other maps about the analysis about land surfaces or landforms (like geomorphometry maps).
