[QUOTE=Bogie;426516]We have made a lot of maps recently, this month let's try creating some art to enhance our maps!
Nov/Dec '20 Lite Challenge: Creation Time!
Your mission is to create a Map Compass, a Cool Border, a Scroll Banner, or a Fancy Legend.
Please define "scroll banner" for the ignorant among us

[QUOTE=Bogie;427125]Can you link some examples for Borders as well? The only ones I really see are on completed maps and seem specific to the map.

Well, those examples are just the kind of thing the challenge is for. Maybe ones not specifically tied to a specific map but a more general border type of thing. There are a number of great artists here who do fab borders. The HeMan entry in the recent monthly challenge was really good. MistyBeee does incredible ones and _PAM_ has posted some great art of late with striking characters in the borders. But even if you do something much simpler then it would make for a great entry.
Another useful website you can pour over is LiamsOldBooks, or FromOldBooks or whatever hes calling it now. Loads of public domain scans of old books with lots of borders. Also the artistic first letters of manuscript pages are a lot of fun too.
Heres 13 pages of thumb borders to oggle at...

(BTW if people like that site they might donate to him as it has tons & tons of free art for maps.)

Wow. I think I just found one of my Giving Tuesday targets. That is an amazing collection and gives me some great examples. I'll see what I can come up with.

Wow, this is great inspiration! Thanks!
Oh, okay, thanks for the clarification!
