Assignment 3: Vinyl Sticker

With assignment 3, the goal was to create a vinyl-based design. Initially, I used Photoshop to create a rough draft of the design that I planned to make. After plenty of trial and error, I decided on the design shown in the picture above. In order to cut the vinyl how it needed to be cut, this design had to be taken into Adobe Illustrator. First, I brought in the "gold" layer and used the image trace function to create a vector that I then cut out of vinyl. Second, I brought in the "blue" layer (a simple circle) and had that cut out of some vinyl. Lastly, I created a square in Illustrator and cut that out of black vinyl.

Overall, I feel good about this finished project. Not only does it fit the rubric of the assignment well, but it is something I personally like, and I am passionate about.
