A layered cut-paper collage on a deep navy field: a tall sand-colored paper lighthouse stands on a navy headland at the left, casting one clean wedge of golden paper across the frame that stops where it meets a long navy paper ridge rising from the lower right; a calm teal band of water runs along the bottom, and three small unlit paper lighthouses in terracotta, ocean blue, and cypress green sit far beyond the ridge, each on its own little island, separate and dark. Every shape shows paper grain and casts a soft short shadow on the layer beneath.

A layered cut-paper collage: an old sand-colored paper chart fills the frame, its lower-right corner curling up and peeling away to reveal a fresh teal and deep-navy chart beneath with a crisper coastline and a small navy paper anchor; a single golden paper ribbon runs along the seam between old and new, with terracotta and ocean-blue cut-paper islands at the edges.

A flat-vector illustration on a deep navy field: one luminous golden mooring buoy at center, held on station by a taut golden chain running down to a small glowing weight on the seabed, while four pale grey buoys with violet bands drift at varied heights around it, each trailing a short broken chain that connects to nothing, over a faint antique nautical chart of coastline contours, thin grid lines, scattered dots and tick marks, and a pale compass rose at the right edge, with thin golden current lines and ocean-blue accents threading the composition.

A flat-vector illustration on a warm sand field graduating to soft peach: a terracotta island harbor with a small jetty at lower left, a deep-blue island harbor with several jetties at center, and a dark cypress-green harbor entering from the upper-right corner, all three joined by a single continuous glowing golden current line that threads through them in sequence, with one luminous golden rolled chart travelling along the line between the terracotta and blue harbors, over a faint antique nautical chart of coastline contours, thin grid lines, and two pale compass roses.

A flat-vector illustration on a deep navy field: four moored buoys in a row, in terracotta, muted violet, teal, and violet, each banded with a cream sash and each encircled by its own separate loop of glowing golden current lines that never reaches the buoy beside it. A thin gold chain drops from every buoy toward the seabed, over a faint antique nautical chart of coastline contours, depth soundings, and thin grid lines.

A flat-vector illustration on a soft seafoam-teal field: a deep navy ship's wheel at center-right with a thin golden rim and a small golden compass rose at its hub, ringed by concentric golden current lines that unwind and sweep left across the full width of the frame, over a faint antique nautical chart of coastline contours, depth contours, and thin grid lines dotted with small islands in terracotta, cypress green, and muted violet.

A flat-vector illustration on a warm parchment aged-map field: a navy sailing ship sits at lower center-left, with eight scattered navigational stars in terracotta, ocean blue, cypress green, violet, and deep red arranged around and above it, each joined back to the ship by a single thin, gracefully curving golden sight-line, over a faint antique nautical chart of coastline contours, depth contours, a compass rose, and thin grid lines.

A flat-vector illustration on a deep navy field: a chain of stylised islands in cypress green, ocean blue and muted violet arranged in a meandering sequence from lower left to upper right, each ringed by faint concentric depth contours and joined by a curving golden route line that touches a small luminous waypoint at every island and continues past the last one as a dashed line, over a faint antique nautical chart of coastline contours and thin grid lines.

A flat-vector illustration on a parchment-cream field: an octagonal walled harbor set into a rocky coastline, holding three small boats at wooden jetties in ocean blue and deep cypress green. Golden current lines thread the blue water inside the harbor and converge at its narrow mouth, where they turn into faint dashed routes that trail off across an antique nautical chart of coastline contours, grid lines, and depth soundings.
