A Cartivale map theme

Stained Glass & Enamel

See the map as a collection of coloured compartments. Stained Glass & Enamel follows geographic shapes with dark dividers, then gives them two different material moods: the light of glass or the depth of enamel.

Light through glass. Colour on enamel.

The glass styles suggest coloured panes with variations in luminosity. The enamel styles feel more opaque, with controlled highlights on a glossy surface. Both keep the geography inside the compartments. Mediterranean Mosaic breaks areas into ceramic tiles; this theme lets larger outlined regions carry the colour. The material effect lives within the map, without added decorative window patterns.

The enamel styles trade translucent glass for opaque colour and a gently raised, glossy surface. Geographic compartments still guide the composition.

Let the compartments lead

Choose glass or enamel first, then try geographic colours that leave the divider lines clear. Adjust your view to balance larger panes and finer streets. A title can sit beside the busiest areas; a marker can draw attention to one meaningful corner.
