Illustrator
Illustrator is The website that you use to make 2D objects, this is used for vinyl cutters, key chains, basically anything with a design. In my class we use illustrator for vinyl cutters and laser engravers for projects like our journal, key chains, water bottles, and a lot of designs. when you have illustrator up you click on new, then the print tab, then create. When you get into the design stage then you can create anything that is 2D and you can add texts, images from the web but make sure when you are on a laser that it is black and white because black will stroke and print the design on it or and red cuts out anything.
Laser Printer
Vinyl Cutter
Here is my name from the vinyl cutter it was fun to do and the process was easy.
Step 1: make your name on illustrator.
Step 2: print.
Step 3: cut out your name or names and then take large piece of vinyl off.
Step 4: take out vinyl in between letters.
Step 5: take transfer tape over and squeegee it to get a tight grip.
Step 6: put on the gently pull up and transfer name to what you are putting it on.
Step 7: take squeegee and rub it to get a tight grip to the item you are putting your name on and then take transfer tape off slowly and near the top of the transfer tape still on the name. Then you will have your finished product.
What I learned:
When using illustrator you can make things on a laser printer, and a vinyl cutter. It is a real easy thing to use and fun. Once you have a thing created on this you can then make into real life like key chains, engraving into things, or vinyl things like car stickers or stickers for people and logos. Everything is very precise when it comes to cutting out, every line every curve all good and you will enjoy this when you know you created it and no one else has. It does take patience and some training like messing around on it and getting help when you don't know something. So this is illustrator, why don't you try it out yourself.
