560908 2007-06-20 08:33:00 Hi All. Any cartographers out there ?? PJ Poppa John (284)
560909 2007-06-20 09:04:00 What sort of map are you wanting PJ? winmacguy (3367)
560910 2007-06-20 09:16:00 Win.........A Fictitious Country & a Ficticious County. To go with what you read recently !! PJ Poppa John (284)
560911 2007-06-20 09:19:00 In that case possibly a graphic artist so that you end up with something that looks like the map from LOTR. winmacguy (3367)
560912 2007-06-20 09:24:00 I agree PJ, a graphic artist more than a cartographer.

You need the art content much more than the science of a map.

560913 2007-06-20 09:26:00 Graphic eh. So is one of you two putting your hand up ?? PJ Poppa John (284)
560914 2007-06-20 09:44:00 I agree PJ, a graphic artist more than a cartographer .

You need the art content much more than the science of a map .

Especially when the idea for the map is based on a fantasy story :) An artists impression would be far better value . Only catch is they don't always come cheap unless you could get it done as a school art project . . . ;)

You may not need to draw as well is you think you need to, sometimes it is the materials such as creased leather or crumpled paper that can make for an artistic background to a map when scanned. ;)
