You can pick and choose depending on your needs. There are variants that seek to reduce ink usage. Others are there to be as good as possible to look at in greyscale. And some are a happy medium between the two. And the last one is what the "greyscale" is when not yet sapped of its colors. Uploaded just for fun.- 9 年 之前

I've been working on the formatting/publication side of the book. It looks like the pages will be 5.5" x 8.5" in black and white. As great as it is to have the maps in color, I don't think I'll be able to print them in the final book in color, without driving up the manufacturing cost. However, if you do provide a color map, it won't be a problem; I just wanted to make you all aware that it may have to be converted to grayscale, and it could affect the way it looks in the final product.

And the type of printing you will be using. Are they going to be in high definition grayscale where you have a nice variety in gradients. Or a more "dot based" gray scaling where there's only kinda large circle hard black inks but creates the illusion of grayscale by spacing the dots.
This may affect the way we would modify our entries.- 9 年 之前

They're asking for a minimum of 300 DPI, so I believe it'll print in proper high resolution. You can resubmit your maps in grayscale, especially if you think the difference between color and grayscale is significant enough, but otherwise I can take the maps as they are and see how well they look/print. The colors in these maps have definitely caught my eye, and even though they might appear B&W in the book, it would be nice to have the original file in color. I'm wondering if it could make for a decent poster, which could help in promoting the book.

Uploaded 2 variants with a slight tint onto them.

Tried making the land marks and such "pop out" more.
Any comments are appreciated.- 9 年 之前

Aimed for a professional looking Cartographic map.

One that you can be proud of being published with a book.
Do note how extremely polished the submission is.- 9 年 之前

You are very courageous in your statements. But it is a little tactless to other designers. I wish you good luck!

When everyone is aiming to win a singular prize I think it's a bit ok to be more bold and have more trust in your own creations.
I do realize that everyone here gave it their best and gave their submission their time, energy and passion; and as such I cannot underestimate them. Good luck to you as well kind co-contestant!- 9 年 之前

I would be happy to do this for you, all hand painted. I might have time to submit a sample but considering it'd take me several times longer to do this than it would for someone doing it digitally, it would probably only be a section of the map. :)

I would assume you would like the images to be in the old mappy fantasy style on decrepit semi burned paper paper?
Or you would like a more clean style where you can clearly see everything and stuff like those in video games.- 9 年 之前

what about the terrain/trees you want them Tolkien-like or 3d-ish ?

I think Tolkein-like would be ideal. I wouldn't mind 3D-looking mountains, but I think I the old-fashioned style would benefit everything else.
