- I love the style of this map. It sets the tone of the map so well. But I'm not a fan of the bevel on the land, if this was a map from the 1500s there wouldn't be any 3D effects, I think it'd look great flat.
I will take out the apostrophe and will show you a version without bevel. I understand what u mean. I just personally think the bevel favours the map aesthetically
t-o-m wrote:- the dotted lines which are attack routes don't fit thematically as well. This is just an idea, but maybe think about how the ships may have been sailed. For example, the route from Timor to Goa, maybe the ship wouldn't have gone straight arcoss the ocean, but contoured the land somewhat? And perhaps a ship makes a navigation error between Guine Bissau and Angola, or Filipinas and Peru, and so the dotted line does a loop de loop, for example ......I think this could add some humour and even more character to an already great looking map. As for the dots themselves, I'm not totally sold on the colours and I think the dots could have a tad more spacing between them. Have you tried using some lines instead? E.g. — — — — —
No doubt the Sea routes are the one that im not totally satisfied with.Ill try some of your suggested options like the ------ instead of ......
Also like you the colour is not satisfying enough for me. i need to find the right balance for them
I guess you are right, maybe that route can go along the coast instead of going righ throught the ocean.It would look better(It actually went right through the ocean but not in goa direction, ive just created that connection so the wholo world could be "better connected"
As for the "humour mistakes", i tottally understand your idea but im not very fond of those kind of things. Maybe im just an old boring guy...heheh
