    Default [WIP] Orhamear (Modern Atlas Style)

    Hey there,

    I picked up this style a while ago, while I was leafing through an old atlas (from 1986). I am a big fan of the Torentine Map and wanted to create something similiar. The attachement below is, what I actually have.

    But I have a question. To create the horizontal grid lines was not a problem. I created a fix point with the Guide Lines in the outer workspace and choose the Elliptical Marquee tool with fixed size, clicking onto the fix point by holding down Alt. Each line is a little smaller than the previous one. But for the vertical lines, this technique seems not to work. I want to creat very slightly curved lines - almost straight. You know what I mean! But when I'm using the Marquee tool with a huge size (40k+) and set the fix point very far away in the work space, the resulting selection is not bent, but jagged and pixelated. A problem of my laptop, I suggest.

    Which technique could work then? The path tool may work of course, but I have absolutely no talent with the path tool. And how should I adjust the pathes properly? I have absolutlely no idea!

    Any tipps are really welcome!
