I’ve been tasked with creating a design for Langley’s 90th anniversary!  
I think I have a sound concept, starting with a biplane, a bomber, a hornet jet and the Mars plane all overlapping each other, with a gradient/stars background (to satisfy people in aviation and space).

So, I’m wondering if anyone has pointers or timesavers for transforming shoddy bitmaps into vectors - I’m pretty competent with illustrator, but if anyone has any tips that might make things go faster, that would rock!
