Daily Log

First Sticker

At first, I was manually removing the letters and making them holes.

It was going really slowly, but...

I eventually figured out how to remove the letters quicker.

Second Sticker

Third Sticker

Fourth Sticker

Fifth Sticker

Sixth Sticker

This is footage of the Cricut cutting my stickers out.

This is what it looked like when it was finished cutting.

I used a pointy thing to peel the extra stuff that I didn't want.

Eventually, I got all of the extra stuff off and cut them out.

Then, I put Transfer Tape on them.

Then, I put all of the stickers on the car.

Reflection

Using a Cricut, I created bumper stickers for my car. I did this because I thought that it would be a cool way to introduce me to Cricut designing. I also wanted to add some swag to my car.
During this process, I learned how to use Cricut Design Space. I also learned how to take screenshots on a Mac. I also learned how to use Transfer Tape when applying stickers.
The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Innovative Designer because I had to remove the backgrounds from certain parts of the logo to get it the way that I wanted. My project also connects to Global Collaborator because I published a video for the whole world to see about my stickers.
A challenge I overcame on this project was getting my school's logo the way that I wanted. I was able to do it by taking 2 images of the logo and cropping off the parts that I didn't want. Then, I put the 2 cropped images into the software and made it into 1 sticker.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change nothing. The reason why I wouldn't change it is because I think that there is no way that it could be better. It is at its best right now.
