World Map

[offtoruin]

Thanks for the feedback guys, my main concern was the placement of the continents and islands. I draw them in with my Wacom and it's hard to get the coastlines real looking I guess. Is there anyway in photoshop CS5 to create a fractal type effect? I'm still relatively new at using CS5 and don't know all the tools and tricks yet.

Also what about the font used? Should I keep it or find something different for the map? I guess I'm not that sure of the font either.

I have CS5, and I'm new at digital cartography myself (just joined this site), but I would say YES, you can 'fractalize' the coastline by following OldGuys' tutorial, it seems geared directly towards that, and seems quite easy to follow. Basically uses the Noise function of Photoshop, along with some layer & selection tricks. Here is a link,
