I'd like to start by pointing out to myself that that is not an atlas, it's a globe!

I actually spent quite a lot of time researching tectonic plates and how they move when designing this map. If you look closely at my sketch you can see the little arrows.

I have not worked any more on this project since I uploaded the first images, but I will try to get some work done on it this weekend. I will also attach the resources I used for making the tectonic plates and a little more about what I was thinking when I made the globe to start with.
