Assignment 3 - A Vinyl based sign

This is what my vinyl sign will look like - once I can actually stick it together. I will post another picture once I have the actual product.

In this assignment I was trying to create a vinyl sign. The word here is 'trying'. I had no problems making the design, I also had no problems cutting the vinyl into the design, however, this is where my comprehension broke down. Once I had the pieces what did I stick it to? What was used as a background??

After thinking about it for a bit and actually looking at the pieces I finally had a light bulb moment and it clicked. HOWEVER, I still had a tiny problem because the McTiser Design piece was missing the s. Now I knew I could not just have McTi er Design, because - well just because. I also knew I had no more time (or vinyl) to go to school and cut it again. So, being the craft person I am I used a scrap of the vinyl and cut out my own s. Now all I need to do it stick it on the background and then take a picture so you can see it.

I was trying to accomplish a final piece that followed the guidelines.

The skills I used involved Illustrator and shapes and text. The skills I learned included using the vinyl cutter for the first time and how to pull off the extra vinyl so it did not eat my letters.

I like the design, I like the vinyl pieces. I think I will like the final result.
