Blank map of Barbados

For Barbados the question is usually how much to draw inside the outline. Outline only is the country with nothing inside it, which suits a header, a logo sketch or a cut-out. With borders adds the 11 administrative areas, and it is the political blank map. Either one can be a PNG with a transparent background, an SVG or a PDF for A4 or Letter.

Small jobs the outline does well

Make a cover. Place the PNG on a report cover or the front of a folder and let the colour behind it show through, so the shape reads cleanly in a single colour.

Make a card. Drop the outline into a template for a thank-you card or an invitation, with a text box of your own for the wording.

Make a stencil. Import the SVG into a cutting program or print it, and trace the shape for a craft project or a classroom display.

With borders, for a poster

The 11 areas are drawn with no names. In a design tool, give Christ Church, Saint Michael and the rest a fill each from one palette for a poster or a slide background, or thin the lines to a hairline for a cover. The list on this page gives the names if you add captions of your own.

Which file

PNG for documents and slides, SVG for design tools or for scaling up, PDF for A4 or Letter. The PDF carries a short line at the foot saying where it came from.
