City cartoon map

[nikklemomo]

Hello everyone.:D This is a cartoon map of my city, it's made to show the one-day tour itinerary for Hongkong dineyland staff in Guangzhou(They came to promote some business projects).

I spent quite some time to draw those landmark buildings in detail, and in order to show different places' characteristics, I gave those disney characters different clothes or gestures to match those landmarks. For example, the comic city, I attached a lolita minnie; and the citic plaza is for white collar, so I attached the piglet in formal suit and with a business bag.:p The basketball courts, you can see the tigger in cool shorts and scarf...
Hope you like them, and waiting for your comments, thanks~

That looks good, Nickel! But... where did you get your Mickey and Minnie Mouse references from? They look like very old fashioned Mickey and Minnies (like, say, from the 70's or earlier?). They don't look like the current, modern mice that we're used to seeing now, which would be consistent with the rest of your characters.

Nice job Momo :)

Map side:
Make sure you centre all the text in your "speech bubbles". Vietnamese Cuisine is to one side of it's text box and the font is very condensed too!

Your fonts are not consistant. Some are bigger/smaller, taller, shorter etc.

Some of your "speech bubbles" are too small for the text - such as Highsun uptown. See the n is being cut off by the border?

Blue MTR bubble has a drop shadow. Green MTR bubble doesn't. Why? Check the drop shadows of all the speech bubbles.

The big red arrows are not all in the centre of the white border around them. Especially the vertical line for the arrow on the bottom right.

Text side:
The headings on the left - please make all the fonts the same size! Some are squashed to fit. Don't do this. It looks messy. You should design the box to fit the longest title.

Sterling work Nickel'!

I like the colors, I don't mind the characters, perhaps it's because I am not too familiar with the characters.

Just curious; What is Comic City?

Just a few things...

On the front side:

As Ned has already stated, the Mickey and Minnie Mouse characters look like the very old fashioned ones.

On the back side:

On the Highsun Sport City section.. I feel that the first line would be better if read as "The first and largest sport-theme shopping center in the country." The reason I think this is because, if it is the largest in the country, that already includes the city.

On the Comic City section... I do not like how the characters are overlapping text on the header and description.

I hope that helps! It looks good so far Momo! :)

Ah thank you so much~ for all ur comments, they help me a lot to do things better next time.

Ned, thanks, um~ the mickey and minnie reference from HK disneyland, maybe I used a simple way to draw them, or maybe I didn't add eyebrows for them, then make them a little bit old version?

Thank you Amy :p

buda, haha, thx a lot, always like ur very detailed comments. Yes, fonts and text problems, and I've tried to modify them, look at the closer looks below. Thanks again, haha.

Sama~ Thank you, ah, comic city is an underground shopping place, for cosplayers, cartoon fans gathering there. There are many small shops inside the comic city, fashions, comic books, lolita handmade clothes...etc.

Thanks Exodus~ about the old fashion mickey and minnie I've explained above, and look at the closer looks below, is it the lolita clothes making minnie in old look or sth else? haha

Ok, now comes the closer ones:
