should the title text and bottom text curve around the globe? seems a bit more natural to me, as you have a visual tangent going on currently and its not so hot.

Hmm... I actually like how this looks better than I thought I would. Both lines of text now bump the graphics, but a light glow the same color as the background makes it quite readable. What are your thoughts, everybody?

Loving that last tweak Oak - I reckon that's the icing on the pudding - great suggestion Mibi.

The curved one is better but I don't like the text bumping with the graphics.

Agreed... here's a fix on the lower text, not much I can do about the top. I think I like this better because it gets the inset map off the borders.

Actually, I have one more nitpick. In the 16th century, the coast of Europe was pretty well documented in maps. Could you change the shape of the coasts of western Europe to be a bit more accurate?
