Visual hierarchy is a meaningful order designers apply to their work everyday. After reading this article I have a much better understanding of how important the use of hierarchy is not only in everyday life but in graphic design as well. When used in design, visual hierarchy is what guides our eyes to look at things in a certain order based on their importance, it does this by suggesting clear marks of separation to signal a change from one level to another while remaining visually appealing. After reading about hierarchy I have a better understanding of how meaningful order is to a graphic designer in order to properly organize information. Hierarchy is crucial to the design field because as designers, our job is to refine and make sense of the information were presenting, while presenting the information in an attractive and creative way.
