1. The terr boarder are MUCH better but still need a little work. However this isnt important at the moment.
2. The outer boarder of all continents are still very pixalated and must be smothed out.
3. Sea routes definetly need to be fixed
4. The continetns names are very messy and inconsistant they must be retyped.
5. The outglow oyu have used in everything (Continents and terr names) is to strong. May i suggested increaseing the spread a little and reduceing the opacity for the continents? and jsut reducing hte opcaity on hte terr names?
6. The backgronds nice but it doesnt fit with your continents i suggest you play around a little more.
7. I undrstand what your trying to do with keeping hte texture to a low but you really need a little texture to blend everything in. If you want to kep it sutle then try using the noise filter and then use pleenty of blu to make it discreat.
8. The new title doesnt fit with te rest of teh map
9. Increase the box size so that nothing is hanging out the bevel. and maybe reduce that bevel a little as well.
10. The blue color of the europe continet is 2 bright it needs to be dulled down a little to fit with the other colors
Thats all for now buddy
2- Yea, i didnt do anything to them. I will fix them.
3-But is that style ok? I understand they need fixing.
4-Ill play around with them
5-Ill try some things out.
6-ok.
7-Ill a very light texture to see how it looks.
8-Its really the same as the old one, but i will try to make it look better.
9-
Woops, didnt see taht hanging out. I will fix it.10-Will be darker next update!
Its kinda like an alternate universe, but it could really be anything....maybe i should add a short little prase and get creative. like "Its the year 3000, and aliens have screwed up the planet! Fight over teritories in this strange, but very familiar world!" Or "Global warming brought us some HUGE waves! They were so big that they moved the continents! Fight over teritories in this strange, but very familiar variation of Earth!"cairnswk wrote:Kaplowitz....forgive me if i missed something reading through this....but can you give us an explanation of the idea of this map i.e. what was your thinking when you first thgouht about this and why the continents are so mixed up...i am like some others who are failing to grab the point of the map.
1-yea, im gonna play with those more.Gnome wrote:Ok, I'll give some things to work on...
1) The borders are still pixely...maybe you can try to Smudge them a bit
2) the background isn't a real improvement to me...it's to dark and doesn't looks like an ocean...
3)Your font colour are completely lost in your background...
4)play around with some new fonts...
5)A purple outer glow on a purple background reads difficult...
6)your compass...why did you add the 'outh' in plain white? It doesn't look good there... (wouldn't it be more logical if you put the arrow down and write 'N' under it...)
7) your Legend is to small, it's like the continents fall out...there is still room to make the square bigger...
8.) I don't think it's necessary to put a sea-way between the island and the land of Venezu(a)ela...the white Dot seems weird there...Maybe just find another solution to your sea-ways...
sorry for the list, you were bored so I thought I could give you some work
play with your map, try diffrent styles you'll get there
2-Im just thinking out loud with that right now.
3-
There are no font colors....unless you mean the continents..4-Yea, i am.
5- Dont know what you mean.
6- yes, that makes more sense.
7- I am going to adjust that.
8- yes, these are not final. And you make a good point with that.
9-Eh, gimil's lists were longer.

I personally dont think they need to changed. But if its going to casue confusion maybe you can change the title so people understand a little better whats happening.bryguy wrote:yea dude he's rightTelvannia wrote:just like to point out.

What do you know about map making, bitch?

Hes saying that North Africa is above South Africa, even tho the poles have been switched. I need to keep it all the same.gimil wrote:I personally dont think they need to changed.

I don't really like this map. It's seems its just a different Classic for different's sake. No real reason for this map to exist. Especially given the dirth of world maps already on the site lately. How many times can we recycle planet earth? Indefinetly apparently, but I would still like to see some innovation for yet another world map. Instead this just looks like the continents were splayed out in some god like yahtzee roll.
