Review Questions 1. Dynamic labeling means labels will change position depending on the placement of other features and other labels and the size of the map scale. True/false? 2. Annotation can be stored only in a map document. True/false?
3
Review Questions 3. If you want the dynamic labels to act like static annotation when zooming in, go to the full extent of the map and set a reference scale for the data frame. True/false? 4. The Scale Range option under the Properties/Label tab allows you to use different scale range from the feature layer, allowing labels not to show when zoomed out beyond a certain scale. True/false?

Designing Better Maps: ICC
Informative: Communicate effectively, clear message Complete: include all the map elements Convincing: not only provide facts, but also persuade opinion
6
Designing Better Maps: Considering
Audience: Non-expert and expert Simple outlook and less symbols for non expert Visual hierarchy: position, size and open space Center place, larger text higher hierarchy Empty space: Separate group of elements in a meaningful way

North arrow: indication of true north (North Pole) Scale bar: graphical and numeric forms; adjust width Legend: lists the symbols used on the map and what they symbolize; Show Layer Name and Show Heading, Override default patch size All dynamically associated with a data frame, keep them near or within the data frame they belong to
