Map+Making

Hi everybody!! In this page I will be telling you the best I can of what i learned in map making. I am not very good, but I will try my best. As you see now, I have not posted any thing on it, but i will when I have time.

What I have learned in Mr. Rowe's map making is that for map making, you have to download a system called Inkspace. Once you download it, you can start building a map! I don't really know how to make a platform for your map, because when we opened it, Mr. Rowe already had one for us. In Inkspace, there are many selections, such as free hand drawing, where you can draw the shape of your island, lake, river,etc. There is also the expand/shrink tool, it will have a lot of dots when you click on one of your free hand drawings. With that, you can expand or shrink your landform in many different ways.

I was thinking of one of the mountains being called Mt. Mammoth, and I only have 1 mountain so far. We have the capital city be called Techno City. I really need some idea's from you guys, because I'm not that good at thinking up names. Should we have a bridge of mountains? Or a valley? I was thinking that we should have a bridge of mountain's and have a valley or gorge in between. I also drew 2 small islands near the top right and left corners of our island. Are we going to have any crops that grow there? And how many people will be living there? You guys can comment about it in the map making discussion.
