### Part 1: Symbolization

Now we have assigned a symbol for each layer at our disposal. Look at the map you created and decide if you want to adjust any symbology to make the map easier to read. Do you need to change some colours? Are the layers ordered in a way that the information is visible? Is the font size appropriate, or does it cover up too much information?
Let's go trhough the layers one by one and visualize them in a meaningful way.

__Airport__
In the [previous exercise](/content/Modul_3/en_qgis_module_3_ex2.md) you found out that the Mohenjodaro Airport in the southwest of Larkana City is still accessibible via the road network. Essential supplies could potentially be transported from the airport into the city without encountering any roadblocks. We want to point out this possibility. Let's mark the airport as a point and visualize it!
