Remember, if you want to make contact like Curtis Granderson, follow the guidelines for the maps that we discussed... Use a sharp pencil, allocate dots for the cities required first. Then plan your placement of the names in coordination with other map locations. Differentiate between types of places by using larger or smaller script, caps or some other method. Try to keep the text horizontal as much as possible.
