Here's an idea. There is a whole page full of concerns on page 70. Go take care of some then post the images again. The dashes in the legend looking like = signs is pressing to me, maybe make them not so thick.

If you did update this, post the update as a reply back here. I don't think anyone wants to go hunting for an edit in an earlier post.

A few minor things,

1. Ths white stroke used for the legends is pixalated. I would suggest either reducing the opacity or putting a small white outerglow around the words to softenthe pixalation.

2. Dull the orange of the title a little to match Utrecht.

3. I still dont like not having a black outline on the river but you said its been discussed so i suppose i can live with it.

4. Im not sure about the flag theres something about it i dont like. But i suppose it can stay until i say something more constructive about it :)

looking at it i think this map will be a big hit, simople, crisp and clean. Something that hasent been produced in a while.

I think the bonus amounts (numbers in the legend) are a bit unclear. Possibly too small, or just a bad font/effect.

That's kind of what happens back here. Until people run out of those or you post something shutting them down and why you are shutting them down.

smells tasty :)

Now you dont have to do this but ill put it out there anyway.

Would you consider rotating the whole image CCW a bit so that zuidlimburg sat in the bottom right corner. This ill allow you to elimenate alot of the dead space and maybe even reduce te iamge size?

no a real suggestion, jsut something for hte extra brownie points if your intrested :)

1. move Flevoland and tershelling terr name off the boarder

2. THe water texture is a little to strong and sticks out, could you reduce the effect without changing the texture?

3. Move Drenthe and beemster up a touch so ifs off the army circle

4. Maybe darken the grey a little (but im not to bothered by this)
