The non contiguous map was a bit harder. I attempted to stylize the map a bit more by adding a drop shadow. Having never used AI before this course, it was pretty time consuming. I need to organize my layers more, as that was my biggest time sink. I had a constant struggle with the binding boxes, but every time I open AI, things are a bit easier. In order to get the shadow fill, I had to copy and paste a new layer of continents over the shadowed layer to make it look "lifted" off the map. I also discovered textures, and like them a bit more than solid colors for background.
