Vinyl Project
For this project I decided to make a Vineyard Vines logo and put it in the back of my phone case to have a decal. I decided to do a Vineyards vine decal because I wear a lot of clothes from them and I thought that the whale would make the decal cute.
Prework
For this project I did did have to do things leading up to it. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to make a Vineyard vines logo, I just had to figure out how to lay it out. I drew multiple designs as seen below to figure out how I wanted to lay it out. I also knew that I wanted the decal to go on my phone case so I had to measure the phone case to see how wide and tall me decal could be.
Completion
Once I knew the design and the layout of the decal I had to start designing it. I pulled a vineyard vines logo from the internet and then using illustrator I picked it out into the pieces I need it to be. Then once I had it all laid out it was time for me to take it down to the vinyl cutter. I had to put the file of illustrator onto a flash drive and put it on the computer by the vinyl. I had to cut each part seperatly because they were going to be different colors. Once I got them all cut out it was time to assemble it together. I used transferring tape and the dental pickers to transport the layers onto the final decal. After that I had finished my decal, and it was time to put it on my phone case.

Conclusion
In conclusion during this laser rotation I learned how to cut out decals and layer them. I thought that it was really cool how you could cut out pretty much anything and then have layers of the decal. In addition I learned how to use the vinyl cutter and all of the tools used to transfer a layer of vinyl. In the end I think that it is really amazing that you could make so many designs using the vinyl cutter.
