Placing and is giving me fits tonight. Not for the first time either. I just want to find X-Y placements that fit what's been published and broadcast/streamed.

Excerpt from a work-in-progress star map designed by Dwight Williams, inspired by various works set in the Star Trek universe. The Bajoran and Cardassian home systems are highlighted with spot-colour rings. A scan of the map of the region from the book Star Trek: Star Charts is used as an underlay for reference as the work continues.

How do sci-fi games and shows map entire galaxies?
We break down the visual language, scientific realism, and narrative roles of galactic maps across Star Wars, Mass Effect, The Expanse, No Man’s Sky, and more.
And yes—we're building a 3D procedural galaxy map for Wardrome.

Did this cozy little carnival camp map for one of my fav Discord clients 🌿🔥
Loved working on the tiny details like the campfire circle, the survival zone, and the little tents all around. Super fun vibe to bring to life 💛
Always grateful for projects like this!

This year, Massimiliano Cannata and I held the Map Design seminar, a great opportunity for students to dive into georeferenced data and explore the principles of visual representation. Excited for the second edition coming in February 2025!

The cross section map I did a while back for @slyflourish who is launching a Kickstarter today based on the City of Arches, and I have few new maps that form part of this product; I’ll post them over the next couple of days. Do check out the kickstarter, I do think the City of Arches is a fun and well developed location for great DnD games. #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #rpg #dnd #roleplaying #gamemaps #gamemap #mapdesign

Speaking of world-building...I'm still doting on this little project with @BadSocialism over here. Fenris and Soroya and R'o and Deerlam and Mantiev (among others) are driving me batty.

"basemaps are a tesseract"

Not sure if I posted this before, but posting it again so I can find it by searching for "tesseract".

#Tesseract #Hypercube #GalaxyBrain #basemap #basemaps #cartography #maps #MapDesign

A seven-panel version of the "galaxy brain" meme, with a map design client talking with a cartographer.

Client: “l need a basemap” Cartographer: “OK, here’s your basemap”

“We actually need a light mode and a dark mode (and maybe grayscale too).”  “Basemaps are a continuum!”

“We need a version of each basemap in English, but also in the local language” “Basemaps are a two-dimensional matrix!”

“Each basemap needs to support five different data providers” 
“Basemaps are a three-dimensional cube!”

“Each one also needs a separate transit mode, a pedestrian navigation mode, and a cycling mode”
“Basemaps are a tesseract!” 

“And we need a different version for CarPlay, and for wearables.” 
"Basemaps are a 5D hypercube!"

“And in the UK motorways should be blue, and...”

Hace poco hice este mapa probando cosas nuevas y pensando más en disfrutar del proceso y no tanto en el resultado, y la verdad es que me gusta mucho, mucho como ha quedado.
Encima a conjunto con la ilustración anterior.

Mapa ilustrado de Japón (en inglés) donde se indican los lugares en los que se puede disfrutar de los cerezos en flor.
El fondo es de color azul turquesa y Japón de color rosa. Los textos gris oscuro.
