My next step was to translate my ideas into Adobe Illustrator.
First up is the globe. This one was actually quite fun to try and put together. I free-handed the map of the world (and yes, it's hard to have that much talent) and chose a color scheme. The color version came first, and then I translated it into black and white.
Next up: the paper map. I wanted to make it have a old, worn look, but I think I could've gone farther with the ripped edges and adding creases and such. As it is, I still like it, even though it looks too pristine to have been in the hands of explorers and ye olde crusty pirates.

Lastly: the GPS. Now, I haven't had a lot of experiences with these newfangled gadgets, but I do know what one looks like, and its presence catapulted my pictograms into the modern age. I wanted to make it a combination of the map and the globe, because it is flat, and rectangular-ish like the map, but still has a sheen on it, like the globe. However, I wanted the colors to be bright and vibrant, but that didn't really do much to unify it with the other two.
