It looks like a nice, cleanly layoud map with good visual balance.
The only thing I dislike are the blurry lines at full magnification, though I have seen that on a number of CC3 maps posted here, so I assume it is a function applied style.

Nice map, welcome to the forums.
Thanks for the kind words.
The lines are blurry as a result of a sheet effect--this particular style came with quite a bit of blur, which I toned down on the symbols and roads.
Thks again.
I like this style of map, it is one of the better additions to CC3. From what I have heard, the Feb. issue will add a few more symbols. I would love to see some more mountain symbols, because they do become a bit repetitive after a while.
One minor problem. There is a river flowing into the lake that is just below the word "Barrier", and it doesn't quite make it to the lake.
Other than that, it looks quite nice.
It's a lovely map, but for me, the escarpment symbols clash with the perspective of the rest of the map and they appear to be meant to be viewed from top down but the other symbols are more perspective - which makes the map look a little 'off' to me. I would suggest losing the escarpment symbol and using something else ... maybe little hill symbols instead.
Good eye landorl -- I just spotted the short river myself!
Thanks ravells -- great idea. I'm going to try the hills and see which one I like better. The escarpments don't impact me the way they do you but I'll give it a try.
Reminds me of my mountains...
Although these mountains feature less lines, and a soft subtlty with the grey interior lines differ, however... they remind me of my mountain objects from Superstition Valley, in a way. Similar style anyway - much softer though.
Just an observation.

Or just give the escarpments the same perspective angle... which would probably be easier.Originally Posted by ravells

Yes, I think they're designed to be used only one way -- not the way I did!
