Extractions: [ Index ] [ Metaverse ] Some folks have written asking how I created the maps and pictures in Virtual Verduria . Here's the main tricks. "Good" in this case basically means that it does anti-aliasing and 16-bit color. So, PC Paintbrush is out. I use Expert Color Paint, which was so cheap ($29) and full-featured that it's probably gone out of business. But any modern paint program will probably do the trick. (This just in: it is still available, but under the name Color It! (Their exclamation point, not mine.)) Anti-aliasing refers to using gradations of color to eliminate the "jaggies" due to low resolution. Compare the pretty anti-aliased lines and text in the left of the illustration to the evil ones on the right, which are non-anti-aliased (would that be just "aliased"?). Not necessary if you can use existing Windows or Macintosh fonts; but useful if you use your own alphabet. I use Fontographer on the Macintosh. It's a bit of an investment list price is $300 and the version I have is buggy as hell, but it does the job. 3. Draw double size.
Extractions: Home > Neighborhoods Map - Meet the Mapmaker City Spotlight: The Man Beyond the Map Trained as an architect, John Wiebenson moved to the Washington, D.C. area to teach this subject at the University of Maryland. But his passion for drawing sometimes takes him another direction mapmaking. To Wiebenson, maps are not just pieces of paper stuffed in back pockets, but multifaceted guides that inspire people, young and old, to step out and explore. Why do you shift between architecture and mapmaking? People are trained in architecture to develop skills that can easily be used for drawing maps. Mapping is a form of communication that allows us to describe the qualities of a place. In mapmaking we can express issues of dimension or a feel for what places are like. Neighborhood maps are a way to help people hold their neighborhoods in high respect. How did you get interested in mapping Washington, D.C.? My first experience in mapmaking was for the "Public Information System For Adams Morgan Streets," a study I did in the 1960's. We used streets as devices to tell residents about their assets. The maps told residents where they were and where their assets, like schools and parks, could be found. The maps were a tool by which Adams Morgan residents could find their community's positive features, and other assets in Washington. The project was a remarkable opportunity to use the streets of Adams Morgan as an educational device.
