Map 2
I've made a few changes as you suggest, specially cleaning the background. I changed the minimap too, but I suggest you to use the last minimap (its purpose isn't to give detailed information. Its just to fit exactly where in California is located the city, as noticed by the blue strip). I add a scale, I think it would be useful. Please note that a few details, like Cal Poly building (it is a real building shaped and drawn) will look better in 300 dpi. The SLO creek crowded a little the map, and if it won't be mentioned in your book, would be better not take it to the map. The map should have some unique stuffs of your story, like creatures, vehicles, weapons, or even how the Rift looks like. If you give me things like that, it will improve a lot. I need information to make the best work on time, so please answer me asap. Att.
