Day 2

Day 2 

Was really the same as day 1 at the start, we were given more time to complete our models that we started making yesterday, and here are a few that i made on the second day. The way i look at my work is that they are very beautifully simple and made of nice materials. I like my work to look modern and i think i have achieved this.

From yesterday we produces a Illustrator file with loads of different shapes, we were told to cut them out using the laser machine, and this exited me as i used it regularly back in school.
This is the lase at work on my file.

 

 The laser cutter recognizes the work as its outlined in red on the illustrator file, the red colour means cut out. There are different colours the laser uses to do different actions. for example it can

• cut out
• edge
• score

 The shapes I  choose varied as I had stars as they interlock easily, my name i had laser cut. and also abstract pieces with no real shape to them. I tired to make my piece as fun and as creative as possible.
But what i did realize when the laser cut them out how small the pieces were and this makes it harder to join. 

When the laser finished cutting out the pieces i took several photos of that the board looked like and these are above, the finish on the pieces is very accurate, and this is why using the laser is a great and easy way of cutting something out.
