Washington, D.C. Map

[atr1989]

Although I'm going to change the structure of the continents, this is what I have for territory names:

Here are the variations of the borders:

Please tell me what you think needs work

sorry, but i don't like it. I'd like to see a DC map because I think there are a lot of landmarks that would be fun to put play, but a flat birds-eye perspective of the city doesn't do that. For instance, rather than fighting for a huge piece of land called Washington Monument, why not actually fight for the Washington Monument?

I don't want to shut this map down, but I would like to help push your thinking... you could have fun with it, like somebody did with this illustrated D.C. map, or you could go 3-d with the monuments.

Clearly you can see what I've been thinking about for my next project... not DC, but I'd like to somehow represent a great city.

Out of the three choices, the black looks the best, though, none look very great anyways. The Washington Monument is missing a bit of the border, on the Brookland side. Also, all of the blue continent is really hard to read. To make this map better, I think you should move it up to a better drawing program. I really like using The Gimp, though I don't think it's very popular around here.

The continents:
Northwest (orange) - 6 territories
Northeast (yellow) - 5 territories
Southeast (brown) - 4 territories
Southwest (green) - 3 territories
The Mall (blue) - 4 territories
North Arlington (grey) - 3 territories
South Arlington (light green) - 5 territories
Olde Town Alexandria (purple) - 3 territories

I think you should add one or two more small territories in gray, the rest seems fine to me.

I think the font should be changed...kinda hard to read...especially in 'the mall'

How would you guys recommend me going about changing the map. I'm going to redo the map in a drawing program, but which one should I use? Also, do I have to completely restart or can I use the drawing I already have to use it as a base for my new drawing?

[spiesr]

I think you should try starting from scratch...

[atr1989]

So I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out Fireworks...any tips on how to start?

[ParadiceCity9]

I like the map how it is...its just gotta be, like...pretty i guess

[plysprtz]

yea you need lots of work and you need to go with the 3-d route it cant be a normal boring map

[atr1989]

Yeah I'm going to start work on a better map, I'm going to have to find a better program first. Updates will come slow for the next month or so but should speed up after that.
