These are all the steps that I took when completing my Vinyl project. I decided to do West Ham United because they are one of my favorite teams in the English Premier League. I will put the decal on my Xbox at home.
Recipe:
The process to complete this project wasn't very hard and it was a lot of fun. The process consisted of Choosing a image to print out. I needed to find something that I really liked and that had layers to stack on each other. I decided to print out the West Ham United logo. After that I put the logo into illustrator where I had to separate the the pieces of the logo so I could print out the layers individually. Then I cut out the layers with the Vinyl cutter and weeded them out with the dentist tool. The last step before i had to take it home was to use transfer tape and the squeegee to stack the layer on top of each other. Finally, I brought the decal home and pressed it down on top of my Xbox. In the end I though the project turned out really nice.
Summary:
This project was lot of fun to do and I taught me a lot of things. I thought me how to take an image and split it into different parts in illustrator. Also, it taught me how to use the Vinyl cutter to cut out the layers for my decal and how to use the squeegee and dentist tool to press the decal together and to weed out anything you don't want in your decal. After this project I am very confident that I could make any decal that I want.
