Map Making: Update on Teerna

This entry is part 4 of 4 in the series Map Making

Now that the character creation session is over and the players have helped establish some more of the locations on the map, I’ve been slowing filling in the names.  Getting the proper scale for the text has been difficult since if they’re too small they’re very difficult to read, but if they’re too large you can no longer tell what feature they are referring to.  Eventually I’m going to turn these into specific layers within a pdf so that you can turn them off and on but for now they’re just names on the map.

I’ve also started experimenting with a new color for the ocean because while the dark blue looks great on screen, it looks very muddy and unimpressive printed out.  This is getting closer to what I want but the reefs have a tad too much “glow” to them now so I will need to tweak that next.
