[Abandoned] - Treasure Map

[sailorseal]

I had to deal with a very similar problem and this is how I solved it.

Choose colors that are distinctly different but are not bright, light in shading, dark in shading or ugly.

and dude how do you make ur sig picture a link?

ok thanx, i was trying to pic oposites for the font color and the bonus color, i'll try toning down the brightness, as for the sig. i can't even get mine to work

[sailorseal]

Ya its difficult and can you solidify the ships they are kind of fading and it looks a little weird

i was advised by many people to fade them and make them blend in, but i'll fix that up a little i guess

[sailorseal]

Ya don't make them stand on top of the map but just make them solid

I disagree with Luke. Just make them a bit more pronounced and they're fine

youre not answering my question

[the.killing.44]

M-hmm…

All I'm saying is, any more clarity that would make the boats look less "treasure map"-like.

what about the territory names, anything about them you could help me with

[sailorseal]

Ya but you can make the boats stained or smudged (ohh a smudged spot would be a good idea) without making them look like they are fading away

just fastposted me, read above ^^

[sailorseal]

Alright you didn't add anything?

[sailorseal]

Dude I have been telling you to put real names in from the start!

[bryguy]

Ugh... sorry to put this to you at point blank, but this map needs serious work...


1) The parchment background hurts my eyes. Looks more to me like u to a piece of paper and ran a gardening tool on it to get a texture...
2) The mountains are to small and blur together
3) The skull in the lower left looks more like a lion
4) The boats dont look like u made them, more like u copied them and put them in
5) Some colors are to similar
6) Are the skulls in there for a reason?
7) Why 2 arrows from open to Defender? Why not on large curving arrow?
You probably will want to have the X start out as a large neutral
9) Its hard to see the different colors for the bonuses
10) The bottom legend doesnt really fit in in my opinion
11) The borders are really rough
12) The docks are blurry
13) Why is there a dock connecting W haven and E haven?

Sorry if im putting it rather bluntly. Plz dont take any offense, Im just stating what i see wrong with it.

If you tell me what program your using though, i may or may not be able to be of some help

I think the backgroung actualy reminds me of matzah the more I look at it. Mabey use the burn tool to burn the egdes a lot so it will get an aged look.

doing it at the moment

[tlane]

i did not read the whole thing so i don't know if any one said this already but i think the just number one would be great if you add letters before them

like
b1, b2, r1, r2

[sailorseal]

He's right that would help

[LED ZEPPELINER]

so should i do that, or the names

[the.killing.44]

If you can make the names less cramped, names hands down.

[LED ZEPPELINER]

ok i have prepared an option with names and an option with letters/numbers (for example: A3). I will open another poll, after this poll is finished, to see

[sailorseal]

Good!

[LED ZEPPELINER]

i don't really know where to go from here. nobody seems to be commenting, so um, what now
