This week's module had us get into Adobe Illustrator. This was a first for me and took some time getting around all the ins and outs of the program. I have limited Photoshop experience from long ago, so that at least helped me navigate some of the basics, in particular that of managing layers.
One thing I learned about was the power of scripting to make mass changes easy. Take this for example from my process summary:
My personal design preferences may not be the best. I have never claimed to being artistically competent in any fashion. To complicate things, being color blind doesn't help much. So with that stated, I do welcome any suggestions that anyone cares to offer as a comment to this post.
Below is a copy of the map I created for this module. Hope you enjoy it!

"For this lab I did a google search to
find a symbol changing script. I found
one created by an Adobe user named Jet and it was linked on another user’s
webpage. I downloaded the script, selected
the symbols I wanted to change, and then ran the script. After the script was completed, I had to move
the changed objects back to their appropriate sub-layers. The file for the script was saved for later
use."
