Join me as I compare a standard fantasy map with its textual elements—titles, cities, nations, oceans, forests, and mountains—and demonstrate how to enhance their visual impact.

Throughout the video, I illustrate how to create a clear hierarchical reading experience by:
- Learn how to adjust the visual weight of elements to lead the viewer’s eye effectively.
- Discover the importance of grouping related elements, ensuring that viewers can quickly identify whether they’re reading the name of a city or a river.
- Explore techniques to make your map not only functional but also visually appealing, including the strategic use of white space.

Whether you're an artist, writer, or game designer, this tutorial will equip you with the skills to create maps that are both beautiful and easy to navigate. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more insights into fantasy map creation!
