Black Titan Redux (Encounter Maps 1 - 4)

1. Lighten up or change the coloration of the background surrounding the maps. Although maps 5-7 stand out well against what you've got, but maps 1-4 "blend in" with the background.

Good point. They are rather similar, particularly when the image is "zoomed out."

That's not good, as you want your map to stand out from the background, not blend in. Also, I do not know if your maps are meant to be printed out or used in something like virtual table top, but the way you have them set up is very ink intensive, using a lot of black ink in the area surrounding the map when it might not be necessary.

Fair enough. I've considered cropping the images to the bare minimum necessary, but have kept them all the same size for now.

The light "line" around most of the mapped sections is a nice, subtle cue that the section is part of something larger, but it would be better to use numbers or a small transparent mini map with the relevant section highlighted to give a viewer an idea of where the map sections are located in relation to other map sections, what you have now is a bit confusing.

Actually, that's a visual artifact that I haven't determined the cause of. It's process specific, as it doesn't appear in all of the images or is a lot more subtle.

That being said, the idea of a mini-map is a good one that I hadn't considered.

A table showing what colors and symbols represented what and the scale would be a definite improvement.

Definitely. Thanks for the feedback.

I like the crosshatching pattern. Where'd you get it?
