Well, Stage 3 in now underway - putting the labels on all 18 maps, as well as the combined map.
However, while working on the labels I finally managed to get my hands on a copy of Illustrator CS2 - yes, I know it's years old, but I finally decided it was time to learn how to make vector maps, with a little (a lot of) help from Thorf's mapping files.
After a week of sweat, frustration, and almost giving up, I have something that I think is worth showing.
So, I have a request. Please look at the two maps I have posted here on Dropbox and tell me what you think.
One is my old Gimp map with labels - zoom in and you can see the pixels and watch the text blur.
The other is my new Illustrator map - I have deliberately tried to copy the style I have used in the other map, the difference being that if you zoom in everything should remain crystal clear.
Feedback please.
