Thread: Second attempt at digital mapping.

  1. #1

    Map Second attempt at digital mapping.

    As the title states, this is me second attempt at map making on my iPad. I found a rough geographic features chart of Antarctica as if it were flooded and made that a base layer where I payed down coasts, styled mountains, hills, forests and all that stuff. These are a few basic end products that came from it. Tell me what you think, which map do you think looks the best? Should I add elements of one to another or just get rid of something all together? Thanks everyone! Click image for larger version.

    Nice work on this Tyriok! I think the parchment ones are all a little too dark for me, but the second one is my favourite with the coasts being highlighted in a lighter colour which makes it much clearer.

    I'd try maybe a lighter parchment colour and see how that looks.

    This is nice! I like the B&W version the most, the other versions are lacking of contrast imho.

    These maps are all pretty good. I have to agree with Ilanthar; the black and white map is the best. I really like those mountains and hills.
    This is just a suggestion, but next time you do parchment color, maybe try making the land and water different shades so that they can be differentiated better.
