Nice looking Maps of the world anyone?
I’m making a series of documentaries about children from different places of the the world. They introduce themselves on camera and talk about their culture etc. just like “Postcards From Buster.” What I would really like to do is find a source for some good looking VECTOR based images of Europe and surrounding regions. I’ve had some success using ART EXPLOSION which is really just clip art. It’s OK but just doesn’t look polished. I’m using AE to do fly-overs and zoom-ins on each country of origin. Then I usually dissolve up a flag or a city location. What have you had success with? Please advise.
Regards,
Nathan

Look no further than MapArt (formerly Cartesia MapArt, now MapResources). I’ve used their USA maps collection for a number of years. They offer the whole US in layered, vector graphics that open into Illustrator, so you can choose which layers you want to show (rivers, counties, roads, lakes, towns of a certain size, you get the idea).
I went to their site and they have a beautiful selection of European maps in different styles. It looks as if you can get what you need for a bit over a hundred dollars. Here’s the site:

Good luck.

Glad to be of help. Those maps have saved my bacon many a time over the years. Did you notice that there’s a place to download some test maps on their site? It will be a good way to make sure they’re going to do the job for you.
