As Basemap is deprecated in favor of the Cartopy project, I added the option to use Cartopy instead Basemap.
Cartopy has also more options for maps backgrounds and better resolution.
The idea is to make this change simple, just replacing MapDesign with CartoDesign, and adding the parameters needed for the background definition. These parameters can be found in cartodesigner.py file.
*for init.py I just added this line:
from .cartodesigner import CartoDesign
