Whistle While You WORK!




So heres a camp map I've been working on. I didn't make the Keystone logo, just the map. And I still have very limited knowledge of Ilustrator so its very basic.

Tomorrow I'll be posting an old-fashion radio that I did at work today

Jeremy this is looking great, the only thing I could say is maybe some waves in the water and some people. I know that the people would be really small but it would give some interest to the map. There be my two bits .

A few things:

1) The trees. You're killing me man. There isn't a problem with using copy/paste/scale, but you should have more than one tree to work with. If you had 3 or 4 primary trees to work with, that were "neutral" with how their shadows fall so you could flip them as well as scale them, It would liven the environment up a lot.
2) The typeface for locations. I don't have a problem with them per se, but I think that readability should be a big concern. I guess just take into consideration that san-serif fonts (with large x-heights and short ascenders & descenders) are widely regarded as the most readable typefaces (thus their usage on direction signs on things like highways).
3) What Josh said. Check out how waves are handled in Wind Waker, I think it could fit nicely with this. Maybe a very simple tone-on-tone pattern for the grass as well, though that might be going overboard.

jeremy, design issues aside, this is a good exorcize! I'm impressed by the amount of work you poured into this- each part of each building as a stroke and details- that's great. I'm sure you learned a lot about managing lots of objects in Illustrator, which is the most daunting part of the program besides the pen tool. good work.
