Oh yes, it's doable, but you need to have a really clear idea of what you want first, and there may be an existing style that could easily be adapted as DoubleDouble mentions above.

This is exactly the problem I had when deciding which way to go with Marine Dungeon.

In the end, because it is only one small issue in 12-13 of a Cartographer's Annual, I had to be firm in my thinking and select the most commonly requested themes. This may leave some mappers a little disappointed with the end result, but it is better to have a well defined theme and to do it well, than try to mix in all kinds of stuff and end up with a style that is too pick and mix to be useful to all that many mappers.

In tomorrow's session Ralf will be creating a building floorplan based on the Fantasy Tavern from the Annual 2007.

Book your reminders now by visiting the YouTube link, and come along to join in if you can.

Those are really nice looking maps.

Have you considered using "Text along a curve" in the Draw menu instead of just rotating the labels? You just need to draw a smooth line or an arc to click on to position and curve the text.

Hi Everyone :)

Following on from Ralf's recent Live Mapping session covering the use of the Mercator style from the first ever Cartographer's Annual, I decided to take a couple of days break to make my own Mercator map.

I hope you like it :)
