Design:
Outline your design process
For the Design, I went with something simple, and put my mom's name on it because I wanted to make it for her.
What tools/commands did you use
I used Inkscape and Makercase.com to make the box. I went to Makercase and entered the specifications I wanted and then went into Inkscape to add my mom's name.
What techniques did you use
I didn't really use a technique.
Describe your work-flow
This project was quite short, so the project took only about 10-20 minutes.
Mistakes made
I forgot to change the color of the box outline, and almost cut without doing that. If I hadn't then my mom's name would have been scored and not rastered.

Things done well
I started out behind, because both Autodesk and Inkscape weren't working for me, but started to catch up and get slightly ahead.
Areas to improve
Work ethic

Overall, don't get behind in this course, it's not fun
