Lengthy prior to the world was discovered to be round, maps had been popular in only the wealthiest of homes. The prevalent man rarely had the means to afford these extraordinary feats of map making, as they had been the sole possessions of effective kings, studious scholars and bold mariners. Even before the ancient explorers returned with news of distant lands, these map makers produced normally stunningly accurate predictions of what was beyond their own shores. Employing reports from mariners about the locations they visited and measurements, a number of the coastlines look as if they had been mapped by satellites. Globes and maps aren't only helpful as instruments like the Detailed Color Map on this page, but also serve as an aesthetic enhancement for household and offices.
One terrific method to display the map is on a world map tapestry which you can easily hang inside the room which you are decorating. You will find lots of various sizes offered for you to select from, and depending on where you obtain it from, you may even be able to select a custom size that you would like to have created. The most effective factor to do is measure the amount of obtainable space you've and then start off shopping for the 1 which you are going to buy and use. Globes and maps are not only valuable as instruments like the Detailed Color Map on this page, but also serve as an aesthetic enhancement for property and offices.
B&A: How much of my main character should I map out before...? +BQ's?
I get into the story? How much should I know about her? Almost every detail or just the basics?
BQ: What color pen do you like to edit with?
BQ2: Favorite font to write with?
BQ3: I am writing a story that takes place in London. One problem, though; I have never been there. Is it still possible for me to write with London as my setting? Any websites or guides that might help?
Thanks 
This depends on the story. Usually it is better to start out with some event that 'snares' the reader then gradually reveal the story of your main character. If you start out with "So and so was born in this town and has this color hair and that color eyes, blah blah blah" you can bore the reader and make them feel like they are reading a biography! If you tell too much about the character too soon there is nothing left to tell and you lose story and slow the pace.
For example, which is more interesting? "This boy is named Martin. He has brown hair and brown eyes and lives on 10th street. He has two best friends and they ride bikes together every day. Martin is a very friendly, cool person." OR "Martin rode his bike past his house on 10th street and waved hello to his friends. His brown eyes lit up with a friendly expression and his brown hair was messy from the wind." You probably see a big difference.
Reading the details AS the action unfolds is always more interesting. A reader does not have to know everything about the boy on the bike. The story can start out, "The boy rode his bike and..." rather than, "This boy looks like this, does this and blah blah blah and he is riding his bike down the street." With too much detail it could be 2-3 pages before your reader gets to the part with the boy on the bike! Mapping out your character too early can also mean people forget and have to re-read the beginning.
As far as your other questions: I only use pencil. I have really lousy handwriting and pen makes it even harder to read. If I need to edit or add, I erase and write it over. Also, when I get to the correction phase this is usually the point when I take the notebook and start translating it into a more readable version on the computer! I do have a set of purple writing pens that I sometimes use to write. This is not for correcting but more just because I like the color. Again though, I prefer pencil. It is easier to correct and never runs out of ink!
The font I use depends on the story. If I am writing science fiction stories I use a modern looking font. If I am writing a story that takes place in the past sometimes I use an "old" looking font to give it a more classic feel. If I am writing a diary entry or something that is supposed to be a letter, I use the cursive font. If I am not sure, I just use whatever basic font that is clear and easy to read. I ALSO use type that is a bit larger just to save my eyes.
As for your last question, LOTS of writers write about places they have never been or people they never met. Shakespeare wrote stories about people from Italy but he was from England. Supposedly he never even visited Italy but he wrote about it in great detail. He was like a lot of writers...he took a real place and added some fiction. Many of the towns like "Padua" were made up in his head and possibly never existed. He was a talented man with a lot of creativity...and he just happened to think that Italy was a cool place! So he wrote about it and added some fiction.
People write about all kinds of things that they don't have knowledge of. If you want to write a crime mystery, read up on forensics. If you want to write a story about Hollywood, read up on the history of it. If you want to write about London start learning all you can about it. Look at photos, maps and watch movies or documentaries. Also, chat with some people online who are from London. This can really help you learn about the culture. Best of luck! I hope this helps!
Yet another common function in the very same period of history will be the 16th century world map of Abraham Ortelius, one of the greatest cartographers of his time or considering that. When very first published within the mid 1500s it became an instant classic. It is richness of detail together with its artistic impression made it a preferred and well known version of the 'old world map'. For those who love maps but want some thing a bit less grandiose than the whole world, you can get terrific tapestries featuring distinctive regions of the world. Among the most preferred of these is really a chenille tapestry that depicts the West Indies. For people who dream of paradise, or owns their own piece of paradise, this terrific tapestry has a decorative border of pineapples, palm trees and parrots that compliment the design of the map itself. Globes and maps aren't only helpful as instruments like the Detailed Color Map on this page, but also serve as an aesthetic enhancement for residence and offices.
This is just a couple of tips for techniques that you can display an old world map around your property. Should you let your creative juices flow you will be able to believe of other methods to display your map also. Make sure to take a look at the alternatives you might have for a world map tapestry and a framed world map so that you'll be able to decide which one will look greater for the location which you are decorating. You are able to either use these ideas or come up with ones of your own, but either way you are going to have a nice searching room wherever you decide to hang your map. Globes and maps aren't only helpful as instruments like the Detailed Color Map on this page, but also serve as an aesthetic enhancement for household and offices.
