AS DIFFERENT AS EACH
of the two text columns clearly is, their hierarchy is visually ambiguous.
The larger, bright green text seems to advance because of its intensity, but it is obviously behind
the darker blue text. At the same time, the blue text also appears more solid, drawing the view-
er's attention, but its smaller size causes it to recede. Despite the strength of this darker blue text,
the green paragraph wins out in the hierarchy because of its positioning at the natural, upper-left
entry-point for reading.
