Projects
- To make a front and back for a notepad
- Water bottle design
- 3-D object that is put together from pieces cut
Designs For The Notepad Covers
These are the front and back designs for my notepad that I made on Illustrator.
The front cover of my notepad being cut in the laser machine. The design is 5.5 inches by 4.25 inches.
These are the cut outs for the front and back designs for my notepad.
Final Product of Notepad Covers
This is my final product after I put them together by punching holes and adding 40 pages of paper in between them. Then I put a spiral binding through the holes to get the final product.

Conclusion
From doing these three projects I have defiantly learned how to use the laser machine easier and can do some things without help. The hardest part for me was aligning the laser up with my water bottle design so it would cover the whole surface because my design was pretty close to the edges. However, from doing this project I have learned different ways I can plan out my designing and printing to make sure to finish all projects in time. But it was a great experience to work with this machine more closely when making these projects.
