This exercise had us make a map of leased areas of the Tongass National Forest for a fictional report. I used a green on a grey background to have a high visual
contrast and pull your eye to the study area.
I used an Arial Black font. The
Arial Black font produced a very legible script but doesn’t take away from the study
area. Having only two elements on the
map makes figure ground organization relatively easy but the green and grey
helps by drawing the eye to the highlighted area. I used a layout that pulls the eye through
the less important elements in a circular pattern allowing the viewer to focus
on the subject. The map seems very well
balanced with the legend and inset map in opposite corners with ‘grey’ space in
the other corners. Created by Ray Eslinger in Nassau County Fl.
