Research and Design
For my individual decal, I decided I wanted to make the Waunakee Swimming logo. My three colors would be purple, black and white. After its designed and cut, I want to put it on one of my water bottles or my car.
This is the picture I wanted to make into a decal.
Illustrator Process
To design this decal, I first imported this picture I found into Illustrator and used the three color logo conversion. I then cut down the outside so that the decal was smaller and not just a rectangle. I then had to "weed" out some pieces that I knew would be way to small and separated the colors.
This is how my decal looks like with each color separated.
Final Product
Heres what my final decal should look like.
What I learned
During the vinyl cutter unit, I learned how to convert a basic picture I found on the internet into a file that could be easily cut on the vinyl cutter. I also learned how to "weed" out small pieces of vinyl that wouldn't work and edit my documents so that they could be easily removed and applied to other surfaces.
