Laser Notebook
For this project we had to make a notebook cover and back on the laser. I chose to do a buck again like my water bottle. To start I made my cover and back boxes 4.25in by 5.5in. Then I added in my two pictures to cutout and typed in my text to be engraved. Once I had those things in I made the outline of the things I wanted cutout and made my text blue so it would be engraved. I made the stroke size .0001.
Laser Box
For this project we were told to make 2D parts into a 3D project. I chose to do the box because I felt it would be pretty easy and it was because I found a website that I out my dimensions into and it gave me the pieces I needed to put into illustrator. After I out the pieces into illustrator I made the outlines red so it would cut them out and then I typed my name onto one of the sides and made that blue so it would only engrave. This project was pretty simple and if we go back to school I would like to see my box come to reality and put it together.
Laser Water Bottle
For this project we had to pick out an image to be laser engraved onto a water bottle. I chose a buck because my dad just got his mount back and I didn't really have any other ideas. First I made my image a vector image then I rotated it 270 degrees and added my name to the bottom. Finally so it would engrave I outlined it in blue.
Final Evaluation
Overall I liked this rotation because it gave me a chance to explore and make a few different projects. I think it would have been cool to print them but I think it would have made this rotation a lot more stressful. I was a little mad because I had to redo my notebook project for this rotation. I had already done it at school but I couldn't access my h drive from home so I had to do it over again.
