SUMMARY
This podcast is singularly composed of an interview with Terry Leeds who the Graphics Director at the San Diego Air & Space Museum, a wargamer, and a gifted wargame component designer. We will tour the museum and talk about Terry’s work.
Terry Leeds followed in his father’s footsteps when he joined the navy. His father flew over 150 combat missions in F-4 Phantoms in Vietnam. After a significant time in the pilots seat, Terry moved into intelligence. He cultivated a love for art and wargames while in the navy for 11 years and the navy reserve for 12 years retiring after 23 total years.
He found a place to exercise his love for art at the San Diego Air & Space Museum, and has worked there for more than 10 years. He is currently the Graphics Director and leads the graphics team on their mission to enhance your experience at the museum. Their work is outstanding with promising plans for the future.
In the 1990s, Terry got involved doing counter and map work for Ed Wimble and Clash of Arms Games. Today he has counter, map or box credit for over 60 games and magazines. His favorite contributions are related to Clash Of Arms La Bataille Series and Battles of the Age of Reason games and of course Liberty or Death. Spending a good bit of time with GMT Games recently, he did work on Liberty or Death, At Any Cost Metz, Fields of Despair and Cataclysm. He is currently working on Mr President, Imperial Struggle and Tank Duel. He also did a breakthrough map for the most excellent game coming in Strategy and Tactics 316, The Campaigns of 1777 by your truly.

Here’s an explanation behind the optical illusion of the light source and the maps.
http://www.syfy.com/syfywire/siberian-illusion
It doesn’t really have to do with how cartography itself is done, it’s just hardwired into our brains. They’ve evolved to see light coming from the sky. Money quote:
“However, in the original Sentinel-2A photo, the light is actually coming from below. That makes sense; north is up in the image, and given the time of year and high latitude the Sun must be shining from the south. However, our brains don’t want to see it that way, and interpret the shadows and relief as if the Sun were shining down from the top, and that inverts our sense of up and down.”
