    Arr me mateys. I's glad that ye be so patiently waitin fer new mappin things t' come from yers truly (avast I has been sidetrack'd and had t' fight me way free wit not but me wits and me trusty sabre). I has eased up on the colors n' all and subdued things to be more proper as is rights fer such a map. In me mappin' I noticed that the map be slidin all about me table wit the rockin o tha ship. So's I nailed er down proper, alas I forgot t' check the nail first and nailed a piece of scrap to 'er as well. Bein the inventive chap that I is though I used the scrap to write down the regions name n' all. I think it looks might right piratey. It be somethins that can only be truly appreciated up close n all so I copies down a larger bit fer yer viewin pleasure. And it be time fer me rum again.

    Yo ho ho me lads.

    The small font with the white glow are nearly unreadable (at least for me), but that is likely due to re-scaling, etc.

    Other than that I think this is coming along nicely.

    Tis a wonder t'behold. Methinks tha "New Dawson" words mayhap be black as yer buccaneerin heart, but should be the color or soaked ship timbers. In fact, I hie that all the vile blacks on this chart mighten look better with an umber.
    Something witty and pithy

    Just a side thought here. Since this is potentially going to be printed, you may want to refrain from putting in the folds. That way if it wins you can simply fold it when it arrives.

    That tis a very good point, I thinks I might un just do's that. A right bit o umber would look much better.

    Tis a most valid point, though I be likin the thought of the map bein sort o one o those pictures peoples always talkin about. The things that look real buts are flat n all. I thinks I be keepin the folds, buts thanks ye for the feedback.

    Here be a bit o an update fer ye scurvy dogs. I has gone over the map and changed them black lines t' a more umberish look (and I must agree tis looks a mighty fine better). I's also made all the labels more uniform and all that, been alignin' them colors t' match and now they are even easier t' see. Be there anythin' else that ye lot see that could use a sprucin up?
