Notebook Project
In this project we were making a notebook cover. This notebook cover include the front and the back. We used the laser to cut through/or engrave lettering/holes into the notebook. We used a certain type of notebook paper/cardboard for this project.
Overall this project was really fun. I got to learn a lot more new designs and cut outs during this project. Also, I finally started to understand how to upload images to Illustrator and make them not look pixelated. All in all this project was really good for me and helped me out during the rest of the rotation.
Thingiverse Project
In this project I looked through many different designs that I could have used on the laser. I ended up choosing the bowl project because I could use it around my house. Also, a lot of the other projects used material that I did not have.
This was my final product separated into the two parts. The bowl part, and the stand.
The bowl is still getting cut out.
This is what the bowl looks like when it isn't put together.

I liked this project as a whole. It took me a day to actually do the project but I thought about what project I wanted to do a couple of days before we actually started on this. I wished this project was a bit harder because all we had to do was take it from Thingiverse and upload it to Illustrator. In conclusion, I liked this project but it could have been a bit harder.
Water Bottle Project
In this project I was making a wattle bottle. We we're required to make our own water bottle design using Illustrator. I decided to do a pictured design because I don't like patterns as much as a picture. We had to do a 270 degree rotation so it would fit on the water bottle correctly. Also, I started working on this project a couple of days early since I was done with the vinyl rotaion early.
My water bottle just started getting cut out (about 20 seconds in).
My water bottle is basically done on the laser.
This is my project halfway done on the UCP.

My water bottle is almost halfway done with being cut out on the laser.
This is my first sketch in my designer notebook.

Overall I really enjoyed this project for many reasons. One of which is that I am actually going to use the water bottle. It was a more complex project because of how I had the pictures and because the pictures were more complicated then most. Finally I liked this project and I was happy with the turn out of it.
