    Default January 2015 Challenge: The Solomon Archipelago

    Hello everyone. I've been working a bit on the solomon islands recently, and this month challenge seems a good way to use the GIS data i've collected on this project (thx again johnvanvliet for sharing http://topotools.cr.usgs.gov/gmted_v...obal_grids.php).
    My workflow: QGIS for mixing various GIS Data, Wilbur to improve a bit the relief, photoshop for colors and textures and illustrator for labels.
