Maps are visual aids that help to visualize locations and see things to scale. Explain the five design principles that a cartographer
would use when designing a map as a good visual aid.

Respuesta :

Answer: Scale, visual contrasts, balance, organization, figure-ground

Explanation:

Answer: Maps come in different shapes, sizes, and formats. Some maps are large and can hang on a wall. Others are viewable on a computer screen. Printed maps may provide many details of a region, while electronic maps produce a vast range of colors. Though maps may be presented in various formats, high-quality maps have one factor in common: well-designed features.  Cartographers are the individuals who design maps. They pay close attention to the characteristics of the area they are representing. This attention to detail helps them provide accurate descriptions on the map. By following the five design principles, cartographers are able to make well-formatted maps. These principles all work together to create a good product. The principles are legibility, visual contrast, figure-ground organization, hierarchical organization, and balance.
