So what will you need to do to create a professional‑looking layout? Following
these points will help you get there:
• Look through a list of all the possible things that could go on the layout —
you can find one in this chapter in the Layout Checklist section.
• Decide which of those things will go on the layout and get input from others.
• Research and gain inspiration from other maps and artwork and then choose
a style.
• Decide which of the layout items will be emphasized and which will be
understated by creating an emphasis map.
• Decide on an initial configuration for those items.
• Build the layout.
• Obtain feedback and repeat this process as needed.
