@Dr.House,I can see where some of the symmetry problems are, and thanks for pointing those out. Now  that I notice them I feel I must go back and fix it. As for the randomness, most of what you pointed out are resources and are used for gathering materials so I'm not entirely sure I agree with you there, but that being said, I will continue to study your points and try and improve. Thanks again for the feedback. 

It's important where you place your resources too, because those are clearely a part of the map, and can give a good or a bad aspect.

Random positioning elements in a 2D scene which aims to be non realistic, is bad.

Imagine having a Title, Subtitle and a Paragraph, the Subtitles are the resources, if you make the subtitle too big or close to the size of the Title, then it's in conflict with the Title, if it's too small or close to the Paragraph's size, then it's in conflict, again, also, if everything is taking the correct hierarchy level, then make sure they are in rapport with eachother, else you got a bad map.

 

What I said above and in previous replies, doesn't apply only to Mapping, applies everywhere, in paintings, drawings, all kind of designs from posters to web designs.

My only criticism is that you really need to normalize and restrict your colour palette. Things look out of place because you have too many variances of brown, blue, grey, etc.

 

It looks great otherwise.
