Middle Earth Map - Critique 4


Next time you venture into Middle Earth you may want to bring this map! Well... maybe you won't be going there anytime soon.  This map of Middle Earth doesn't really have much as far as figure-ground goes, but I still feel like it manages to look ok.  The legibility of the map is good, the larger the area is the larger the label is (even if you can't pronounce it).  The clarity of the map is good and there is no overlapping on labels. The balance of the map is a little off as most of the mapped area is on the right. Having the title in the bottom left helps balance it out, but is in a bit of an awkward place. The map was well thought out though and looks very nice. The color of the maps may seem a little dull but I think that's because they are going for the look of an old map or page of a book.
