    Discuss Map a historical style

    I'm not sure if this has been done before, but how about a contest where each person must pick a reference style based on one or more historical maps? It can be world/regional maps, city maps, building maps (e.g. architectural blueprints), or anything else people can find for inspiration.

    I like this idea, though I don't know if I will have time next month as I have a very large commission.

    That sounds like a great idea, also don't forget that the challenges are now running every other month so the next mapping challenge will be in February.
