I was wondering if someone can do a quick and hasty map for me. I'll go ahead link to my rough draft first, then I'll explain what I would like.
http://i.imgur.com/bXzsZGj.png
I would like a map that's a bit road map and a bit thematic, as you can see. The gray areas are supposed to represent urbanized areas (towns, villages, that sort of thing). The light green represents farmlands and rural communities. The dark green represents forested areas, and the blue represents the sea. The red roads are supposed to be major highways, while the orange ones are more freeway/rural roads. I'm going to go ahead and grant the artist to have liberty on this one. I would like something that looks similar to what I have, but I encourage the artist to build on it as he sees fit. For reference though, I'm laying down a few guidelines. The color scheme doesn't have to be exact, but it should be a bit close to what I have. The black borders do not have to be black — feel free to make them what seems more artistically pleasing. The map should include a title, a compass rose, a distance scale, and a legend. For reference, see the forest that's inside the farmland? It's about ten kilometers long. The title may be on either corner, but since it shouldn't obstruct anything important, I'm going to make the call that it should be on the lower right (I acknowledge that this isn't entirely kosher in design, but it's the only location that really fits). The title should be "Maxtopian Coast — Road Map". Try to put the rose, scale, legend, and title all in the same area if that's possible. I'll admit the next part is going to be a bit nit-picky, but see where the major highways intersect with the smaller roads? I want you to make sure that the highway is always above the roads. As for the more technical details, make sure that the map itself is at least 1000px. wide. An SVG is preferable, but if it's not possible, it's understandable.
Thank you in advance for putting in your time! Take as much time as you need to make it perfect.

Don't worry guys, I've got this one. Claimed.
It all seems pretty good, nothing that confusing. I'll TG you a WIP screen when I've got the main map done.

Didn't take me too long to get something satisfactory to me. Here's what I have done so far. I encourage you to give me any feedback you have.
Maxtopia wrote:Thanks man! It looks amazing! I never would have thought of giving the roads that subtle outline, but it's perfect! I have nothing to say about the rest of the map, it's looking great so far. Keep it up and let me know when you're done.

Unfortunately the title in the SVG had to be rasterized. There seemed to have been some problems that only rasterizing could solve. I found that to be a shame, but it should be high res enough to where it won't normally be a problem.

That's alright, I love it! It turned out perfectly. Again, thank you so much for your time.

That's a map of Kerbin, the main planet from Kerbal Space Program. I don't think that counts as original work.
For reference

Your funny. There was no other map previously of a grey map of kerbin (and for that, at this scale) and I made it myself. If you'd like evidence telegram me.
