Ah, i don't have a large at present except for if i scale the small image up. I wasn't going to do the large until i get the small sorted out.
I understand what you say about not requiring the extra space for the large.

I know you are busy, so when you can upscale the small, that'll be fine. I just want to be sure, though now that I think about it, it may need to be to keep it at a visible size difference between the two.

isaiah40...here are the supersized versions. The large is 10% scaled up on the small. Please forgive if the graphics are a little shoddy as this is all vector stuff which had to be re-arranged somewhat.

Small V9 - 730 x 600

Those sizes look pretty good... although you could still go to 840 with the large one while staying within regular sizes... there'd be more of a size difference.

You think so?

Well, a 33% difference is recommended from small to large. Even though 9% is the minimum, I've always figured it's best to have at least a 25% difference - if the sizes are too close together, there's not much point in having large and small versions...

840 would be about 15% larger than 730... it's still not a huge difference, but I think it would be appropriate... at least better than 10%.

Yes both look good, if you make the large the standard 840x800 (or whatever this comes out to) then we can have a little more wiggle room on the small if need be. The only place on the small I see a problem with for the 888's and the name, is Rebecca Nurse. I think the number place holder and the name can be switched around with no problem. So for now (Sully don't wait for the image please) I give thee the Witches Invisible Supersize Approved Stamp!!

Would be interesting to have a conditional win on this one. The bonus with the white on white is hard to read. I like the map but I still don't dig on the colors all that much.

Suggestions for your colours? Nola_lifer...
and what would you have as the conditional win?
I'll fix that white on white.

It was a double jab at isaiah's invisible stamps and your map theme. Sorry if I'm having TOO much fun.

Witch! There will be no having of this "fun" in this thread! Hang him! Hang him high!

On a side note, the town meeting halls are out of tea leaves, and I will prepare my full list of comments shortly.
