Distance to playgrounds
This map represents distance to playgrounds in the Cascais Municipality, Portugal. It uses several QGIS2.0 new features. The "background" raster uses the new Blending feature with multiply over the streets layer. All labels use the great buffer transparency feature. (In 1.8, both this "effects" would have to be done in Inkscape) The distance isometric lines uses curved labels along lines. The legend is a single legend with columns (I 1.8 we would need to create two legends). Also, using composer new snapping to other elements feature was quite handy, and made map composing much faster.
