    Post The Iake Isles

    This is my first complete map, which was done a few years ago. I am just now taking up cartography again, but wanted to post this as a milestone to see how I might improve with future maps. Anyway, I didn't think it was too bad for a first endeavor. It was done entirely in Photoshop 7.0, but unfortunately, I did not save any earlier drafts.

    Iake is a northern island, boasting one large whaling town. I used the whale watermark to illustrate this feature. It was a free clipart image, which I modified and faded out. I also attempted to convey this 'cold' environment by adding white frost highlights to various areas and by using a snowflake as a compass rose.

    Please feel free to comment and offer suggestions/advice for improvement. I'm hoping to learn as much as I can from this site and have that knowledge reflect future projects. Thanks!!
