This was a workshop provided by one of our tutors who thought it would be helpful for us to look int possible ideas that are a little less conventional to advertise our product.
Each group was given a square of wood which we could use for whatever we wanted. We decide to stay simple and just have our logo printed on it to get an idea of the depth, speed and timing that it takes to get something cut. Using the logo design I came up with, Jasz made it into a Illustration file which we then took to the department. It was cut swiftly and without much problem. I had previous knowledge on laser cutting from my course in graphic products which we used it frequently. However it was fun to refresh my skills with using it. Below shows the final product and video of it being cut. We ended up going with a 100-500 cutting style.
These where all different experiments on how to refine existing images to make engravings to how to make solid cut out's for physical objects.
We messed around with all sorts of brushes and methods to achieve what we might want from the laser cutter. We where also educated on the different measurements and line colours needed to let the machine differentiate between scoring, cutting etc.

For my personal product I am interested in getting glasses engraved or something along those lines. However money is slightly sparse at the moment, so it might have to be put of for a future project.
We also did a workshop tutorial on how to set up files for the laser cutter. These where the out comes I made.
