Re: Golfe Du St. Laurent
I'm excited to see this map finished. It might become part of my map rotation.

Re: Golfe Du St. Laurent
Do these changes still need made, or not? I mentioned them back on page 2, I'm not sure if they were just overlooked or meant to stay the way they are.
Name fixes:
Avalon Penincula -> Avalon Peninsula
Grand Falls Winsor -> Grand Falls Windsor (GF-Windsor, on original map)

Re: Golfe Du St. Laurent
It looks like the d made it onto the images in the first post, but "Peninsula" still needs a fix. I'd check the XML, but ripway is blocked here at work.
Re: Golfe Du St. Laurent
I've fixed it all, yes
Re: Golfe Du St. Laurent
I think it's all correct.

Re: Golfe Du St. Laurent
Those look good. You should update the first post with those images.
It seems to me you are ready for the official XML check, but I don't recall the protocol. Do you submit when you feel ready, or do you wait for the Final Forge moderator(s) to invite you to do so?

Re: Golfe Du St. Laurent
All looks well to me, pending XML approval, I think it's beta time

Beautiful Tisha.
I remember when this map first came around. It is nice to see someone actually take it and get it to a point where it is ready to play.
Well done.

Re: Golfe Du St. Laurent
just a few notes on spelling and punctuation for both the images and the xml.
although Saint is often abbreviated in english-language place names, Saint John is always written in full to help to distinguish it from the newfoundland city of St John's.
http://www.saintjohn.ca/en/home/default.aspx
PEI is conventionally spelled without dots. the same rule is commonly used for all canadian province abbreviations.
http://www.gov.pe.ca/
the du in the title, Golfe du Saint-Laurent, ought to be in lower case only. it means of the, which is usually capitalised in neither english nor french. similarly with Est du Québec and Sud du Québec.
http://www.glf.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/f0006090
the above apart, u've done a splendid job with the graphics!

a little late on those, but alright.
lowercase Du in the title doesn't look as great.
Re: Golfe Du St. Laurent
if the title looks a bit lopsided with a lower-case du, then keep the upper-case D in the title. because of its visual function, the title is one place where the artist always has some extra latitude.

Re: Golfe Du St. Laurent
The map looks great, the only thing I'd like to suggest is to find a way to increase readability of few names. To be precise Anticosti, Bas St. Laurent, St. john and Grand Falls Windsor.
[edit] Also Chaudière looks weird on both versions, no way to have all the text on a single line?

Re: Golfe Du St. Laurent
I've travelled most of it. I want to see if the scenery is as good as the real thing.
Bring out the beta please.

On the large version, Grand Falls Windsor looks a little crooked. Can't wait! (:
