Well if they start pounding on my front door, I have a spare shower rod to fend them off with.

Pssh, too realistic... There is no such thing as too realistic.
From a magazines point of view realism and satellite images don't print so well as line art. I guess that what I want is a world where I can go anywhere at any scale which only works well for top down ortho and realistic type maps. For me a magazine isn't the best kind of format to make a world like this but I see that line art type maps with clear fonts etc are what he needs.
I've sent an email to the art director with a link to my portfolio and had no response yet. I'm going to put together a version of the smaller city map to submit to James Jacobs. Hand drawn style with clear outlines sounds up my street really
Sadly the ICE challenge is going to have to drift now.
Oh.... boo hoo! I was really looking forward to more entries in the ICE competition, especially yours. But I understand you have lots of other things going on though.....I've sent an email to the art director with a link to my portfolio and had no response yet.

So I re-read the page...
Are they looking for people to make final print quality maps, or people to take crappy maps and "clean them up" to provide to their "real" map artists?
