Key Chain
- Open up Adobe Illustrator
- Create a key chain outline using a rectangle with dimensions 2.75 in x 1.75 in
- Then change the color of the rectangle lines to red, with a .0001 stroke width
- Then find an image you wish to use, make sure it is pretty black and white, and not much in between due to the laser printing
- Then put the image on the keychain
- Using the ellipse tool, make a perfect circle by holding down the shift key, and have the size of the circle be 3/16
- Make the circle line red, with a .0001 stroke width, just like you did for number three, this will cut a hole out, so you are able to make it a keychain
The key chain was a very cool starting project for the laser. I was able to learn the basics of illustrator, and some of the more useful parts of the software. I also learned how to use the software used for printing with the laser, and how to change the material being printed. Overall the key chain was a good starting project because it covers the key points of illustrator.
