We Wants It: updates and improvements to the "My Precious" style for ArcGIS Pro

Even the smallest map can change the course of the future.

Download the latest version of the My Precious style for ArcGIS Pro and press your quill to the parchment of your imagination. This version has several improvements over the original, to make your Middle Earth maps better and easier…

• Improved symbol scale for better looking and more consistent maps
• Updates to symbol rendering accuracy makes water lines behave as they ought
• Feathered-in textures and faint colors
• More efficient symbol structures for faster rendering
• A subtle crumpled parchment color scheme for your Misty Mountain hillshades
• Text label styles to match the inked aesthetic

That sort of thing.

So update your style and get at it. But be warned…

It’s a dangerous business, map making. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.

Happy Mapping! John

P.S. Consider a shortcut through the Mines of Moria to an ArcGIS Pro project with this style, and sample data, all set up and ready to go.

About the author

John Nelson

I have far too much fun looking for ways to understand and present data visually, hopefully driving product strategy and engaging users. I work in the ArcGIS Living Atlas team at Esri, pushing and pulling data in all sorts of absurd ways and then sharing the process. I also design user experiences for maps and apps. When I'm not doing those things, I'm chasing around toddlers and wrangling chickens, and generally getting into other ad-hoc adventures. Life is good.
