Laurie D. Olin
After analyzing this profile on the OLIN website, the main focus I first noticed was the profile photo used. The photo comes across as someone who is confident in what they do.
One of the tactics used is a lot of white open space is used so the focus is on the profile of Laurie D. Olin.
From my own personal point of view the hierarchy of information is first the photo then Laurie's details and finally a description to the left of his photo.
The layout of information on this page has come across successful as its not confusing to the visitor as its broken down into the simple elements of Name, Photo and Description.

Tom Hanks Profile
The Internet Movie Database has information of Actor's, Film's and other related information.
The page I have chosen is Tom Hanks profile.
The hierarchy of information on his profile is laid out making it easy to assimilate the information.
The first item noticeable is the profile photo of Tom Hanks to the top-left of the screen. His name it next to this photo which is the second most piece of information. A brief description is under his name which is the third noticeable piece of information.
The profile is laid out in a grid with white space in between the items making it easy on the eyes and not tire from analyzing the page.
The tactics used has been successful as the information is laid out for easy access to the information the reader wishes to retrieve.
