Decal assignment
For this project I wanted to create a logo of some sort to put on my folder. At first I couldn't think of any logo that would have the required 3 overlapping parts, but I eventually came up with an idea. I decided to make an Adidas logo with a triangle in the back ground. This is my first sketch.
To start the decal, I found an Adidas logo on the internet. I downloaded it and opened it with Adobe Illustrator. After I opened it, I resized the image to make sure it was small enough to fit on my folder. After I finished the image, I created the shape. I made an obtuse triangle to be put in the background of the logo. After I made sure the shape fit in the background of the logo, I made two different art boards so the vinyl cutter could cut them correctly. Now I moved the file to the USB and moved it to the vinyl cutter. I turned on the vinyl cutter and put down the holder to hold the vinyl down. I decided to use a iridescent vinyl for the logo and black metal pattern for the triangle. After I loaded the vinyl, I opened the file on the laptop and cut the logo. After I cut the logo, I switched the vinyl and cut the triangle. After this, I used transfer tape to move the triangle and then the logo to my folder.
