Wk3 - Feature Hierarchy & Visual Search

 

  

The first picture can easily find the feature hierarchies. In this picture, you can easily recognize the disability sign in the middle even though they are in different colors. The other picture above is kinda like a multi-level hierarchies of a treemap, it show different colors, shapes and patterns. The designer mention that a treemap represented as a rectangle, the size of it depends on some attribute of the data. Like if you has a high-volume trades in a day, then your rectangle will be bigger. So you can see there is a lot of patterns inside the shapes. As I understand the Ware's definition of feature hierarchy's of "what" are colors, it is easy to find different colors in the pictures above. But the "where" is a little bit difficult to find or I don't really know what's that mean. All I can find easily and is in different shape and pattern is the disability sign in the first picture above.
