How I chose what to make
I was really not sure of what I wanted to create on the vinyl cutter. I eventually decided to do a Brewers logo because they are my favorite baseball team and their design is relatively simple and easy to make. It has 3 colors which is perfect for what I am trying to do. I could split each part apart and make the logo.

The ProcessFirst I started with my image. it was a Milwaukee brewers logo. then I converted it into a vector image. I then ungrouped the outlines on the three parts and split them into three separate files. in these files I colored in the images so that the lines would cut well and they wouldn't have any other lines inside them. I finally removed any extra lines so I had only the outlines

Printing ProcessPrinting this vinyl image was tricky. It was my first attempt at working alone on the vinyl cutter. After a bit of trial and error I managed to get the look I wanted and it looks great. I pasted the individual parts together and made one decal that I can put on anything

Summary |
This was a hard project because of my limited use of the Vinyl cutter. I think If I had had more time to use it previously I would have been able to complete this assignment more quickly. However, with all of my problems, I do feel like I learned a lesson on this assignment. I learned how to think for myself and how to be independent with troubleshooting problems. I also managed to help my group learn what they needed to do on their projects. I think that in the end learning how to help myself is the best thing I can learn in this class because I can go on to help myself when there aren't other people around to teach me.
