Exactitude & Graphics: Hierarchy

Logical Sequential or Preferential Ordering?

The graphic element that I found related to the quality of Exactitude represented some type of order in terms of importance, Hierarchy. By using a system of order, such as hierarchy, a viewer or reader would appear to be able to process information at an easier, quicker, and sharper rate. “Visual hierarchy controls the delivery and impact of a message. Without hierarchy, graphic communication is dull and difficult to navigate.” The image of the table and contents in the Graphic Book made me think of whether the table of contents was mapped out based on a logical-sequential ordering or whether it was mapped out based on the author’s preference. I would say that it is a matter of both. Since exactitude is both a mater of preference and logic.
