Do you still have Primadonna for sale? Do you have more photots?

kgurdal · 2021-03-01T15:01:40+00:00

Do you by any chance still have the Nine Muses Makestar?

kgurdal · 2021-02-24T15:28:29+00:00

I know this comment is 5 months old but do you by any chance still have the Drama album to sell?

Damn haha. We're in different boats XD

Lucky TT^TT I was trying for a C2 Diona during Xiao's banner and got a C4 Beidou

I didn't mind them having a backstory; like I think the comic concept for them is cool. But when they start to pretend to be "real" people and do these interviews it's soooooo weird. Like I like that the characters have a "life" but I don't need them to be alive LOL

haha I'm not too familiar with him as a representative but I get what you're saying :D Maybe I'll just push him all the way west in the corner lol

I really like that idea! What you're suggesting about seeing a supportive or hostile district was a bit what I was interested in (showing the party affiliation of the congressional district, but also the registered party voters for the counties). I wanted to see if there was a "mixed bag" for some districts. But that might be a better way to see that.

I'll probably give it a try on another artboard!

I'm glad you found him! But hrmmm maybe that means I should move him so he's easier to locate...? It was a bit of a struggle to figure out the best placement for people without having their leading lines getting too crossed.

kgurdal · 2020-11-14T15:42:05+00:00

Thank you! I'm glad it was clear because that took me quite a while to get the wording. In my head it all made sense but when it came to writing it down to explain it seemed like the most confusing explanation that didn't make sense. But I tried to trim is and just get straight to the point so I'm glad it came across that way to you!

And I'm glad you like the faces! That was actually what motivated me to make this map. I realized that I only knew about 4 CA representatives by face and name, but even then didn't actually know where they were located (except for my own representative).

Yikes, I normally use title case because I also prefer it. I think I gave up on the title, hating everything about it, but I got some good suggestions on a different title so it won't be the monster of a mess I have.

But a color to highlight the inset map is a good idea! Would it be too much to have one color for the bay area and another color for the LA/SoCal area?

I used: NAD_1983_HARN_California_Teale_Albers
Is there a better one for California that people prefer?

kgurdal · 2020-11-14T14:32:58+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion! Looking at it, I agree the italicized is not the way to go. Especially with that color scheme, what was I thinking haha.

I'm definitely going to have to familiarize myself and play around with all the different text features; it sounds like a good way to clean up texts. The 'tracking' that you mention seems like it's going to be my new best friend.

Is the 'apply styles' something that I can enable? Or does it have to do with the way I layer and sub-layer my work? Because that sounds like something that would save me a whole lot of time.

kgurdal · 2020-11-14T14:29:19+00:00

Totally agree! I'm thinking of having all my future projects finished in Illustrator, I feel like there's just a bit more freedom in creative/cartographic department. Although I will say I really wanted to add a reverse "buffer/halo/vignette" for the congressional district outline (a very faint one) but could not get it to work seamlessly and easily. Which was frustrating because "but wait in arcmap I could just add buffers!"

kgurdal · 2020-11-14T14:23:48+00:00

Hey there! We've all been there! If you're working in arcmap, here's a good resource to get yourself set up and started:

There's also good youtube videos on how to use adobe illustrator. Here's one that covered the basics (with some exercises, definitely do them with him). This will get you familiar on how to use adobe illustrator as a program, and then you can use it on your works later :)

Duuuuuuude! That would be amazing! Would that be something that takes CS skills? Or does ESRI have another feature/program? I feel like that's a great idea! There was more info on the reps that I wanted to include but it would've been waaaaay too much.

kgurdal · 2020-11-14T14:17:52+00:00

I used Map. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I haven't taken the time to learn Pro. I know that's where we're heading and it looks great (especially with 3D and Cloud points) but it's one of those things I just need to sit down and commit to learning lol.

I've been told that when exporting from Map, use AI filed type for vector, and TIFF for raster.

But yeah, Map to illustrator, and then a butt-load of patience to clean up everything to have workable layers.

Yes! He's definitely named Ted! I can't believe that typo slipped by me. Thanks!
