- Just ask. No reinventing wheels; you’re not that good. Just ask. You see a mapmaker is alive, you see his or her work, you like the technique, ask them how they did it. They might tell you.
- You’re not smarter than time
- If map needs to look nice, divide work in a grid, grid cell is your atomic unit of work.
- Learn about everything else but maps, then use that to make maps. Maps are for the world, not the world for maps.
