Hierarchy

After reading this article, i feel like i have a much a better understanding of what visual hierarchy is all about. Hierarchy is focused on how a layout can control our attention by emphasizing and organizing aspects in the visual space. Hierarchy can separate lines of text into groups or make everything clump together into a big homogeneous blurb. An example in the text that stuck out was the table of contents page that tried one to many methods of separating texts and ended up looking like a complete mess. Also the page that showed a series of similar hierarchies with slight permutation was useful in showing how different types of changes can affect a hierarchy.
