Hi klas, I was wondering if you can publish the addresses of the background images that you used to make the map. They must be free. I found the one in blue watercolor but I can not find the one in green watercolor. I want to end by saying thank you for your video.
All you have done for me is to demonstrate the inferior design skills that GIS technicians have compared to the superior map design skills that a cartographer has when it comes to the final output of his product because of the human brain more in-tuned to the emotional, intuitive, and the religious right side compared to the left side of his mind. n short any person in tuned more so with the left side of his brain is not qualified nor capable to design a proper map product without these codes written down step by step and even then he will never be able to make a good map, the programmers will never be able to make a good map, they are good to create scripts, program new dialog, new tools, but never a map designer, and not likely have the skills of map interpretation. Your roads are too yellow and domineering, which hurt my eyes by the way; why are the shorelines a different colour from the rivers? The poor choice of rivers for the colour design is a problem unto itself. Then there is the issue of using things like shadows if you have file size in mind, and how well does that effect actually print on a map, and how much ink is required that is going to be wasted with high high colour values? There is symbolizaton matters that we need to keep in mind: obviously Point, Line, Area, and matters of the volume that we need to keep in mind with on how we design a map and how the simplification process in the act of the generalization of the data which symbolization is part of the generalization consideration when we need to make a map readable which unfortunately requires a lying if necessary so that we do not over complicate a map to the point that the legibility is too confusing and loses the clients and the customers attention to the necessary detail that he needs to be focused on in which would be how to get from point A to Point B or how the data itself with a thematic map of say a chlorepeth or dot distribution map of say population data.
imo it's a fun thing, developing your creativity rather than following science-based way to presentate surface in the best way suiting our perception senses. For ex, game producers create their own maps too and they may significantly differ to the ones we know from atlases and there's nothing wrong with it. Maybe someone designes maps for children or whatever. Not every map is for the masses of people like touristic maps, road maps, topographic maps etc.
What a crass reply to a well-meaning tutorial. Worse, it's steeped in pseudoscientific drivel about the lateralisation of the brain, which is a lot more complicated than left = LOGIC and right = ART. Lateralisation exists to an extent, but for the majority of functions it's mixed or contralateral, with notable exceptions for Broca and Wernicke's areas. In any case, and speaking of maps, with a tone like that, you better be Heinrich Lambert or Mercator because one would think you speak ex cathedra for all things cartographic. Where did you get the confidence to pontificate like this? Who made you the arbiter of who is qualified to make maps or not. If the roads are "too yellow" for your taste make sure to pick a different tone when you make your own tutorials.

Excelent tutorial, very inspiring
This is beautiful. Thank you for your excelent videos Klas.
It's a very advance technique ... Nice tutorial anyway
I like this style, congratulations Klas
Thanks Klas, really good tutorial.
Hi Klas, I was wondering if you were able to do a tutorial on network analysis. Thanks.
Well done.

Hi klas, i found Watercolor Texture Green.
Couldn't you have used ilike for a case insensitive like?
Ian Turton Actually, the LIKE statement seems to be case insensitive to.
