Districts

The places

Districts are the grain of a city — old town, docklands, the hill, the flats. Each one has its own hatch and its own color.

How to shade them

old town   fine hatching, warm
docklands  blue wash, horizontal
the hill   green, contour-stippled
the flats  open, almost blank

Rule of thumb

Shade the difference, not the detail. A district is a feeling, not a fence line.
