Where were you 6 months ago! :) I’ve been searching high and low for an “antique” map that’s still accurate so I could hang it on our wall. I wanted it to be an educational thing (we homeschool), but I don’t want my house to look like a schoolroom. FINALLY found one (for too much $$), but could really have used yours!!
Any plans to make a N.America/S.America centered map in the vintage style
I like the vintage world map, but i don’t really like the vintage US map. A conundrum, I know ;0)
I like map style A for both. It comes across as brighter and clearer, essential for younger learners. Older students might be okay with the yellowish effect, but I think it would be more of a distraction for elementary and below.
I prefer the vintage look, but both my children (13,9) voted for the regular maps. They stated it is easier to read. It’s great that you are seeking input!
I think the regular map being brighter would be more attractive to a child. Thanks for asking!
