In this activity, we had to make a two inch cube as accurately as possible out of cardstock and cardboard. For the cardstock box, I cut out a net with tabs and folded and glued it together. While it is a bit flimsy, I believe that it is very close to being two inches cubed. The cardboard box, on the other hand, is made out of 3 pairs of different sized panels which were glued together. The panels were different sizes because the cardboard's thickness had to be accounted for to make sure that the box was two inches cubed. However, time was short by the time I began to make this box, so I was not as precise as I could have been.

This is my board of cardstock attachments. I tried to make each attachment example unique from the others that I had seen. I had no issues with completing this project, but if I had to chose the most difficult attachment I would say the cone or the score and shape because they required more measurement, thought and planning.

This is my logo design, our first major project, which was created to use learned skills in Adobe Illustrator. I wanted a logo that was simple and minimalist but effective. Because of my inexperience with the program, I ran into some issues with making the letters, lines and shapes even and level. I overcame these difficulties and created a logo that I am proud of.

This is my logo as it was laser cut. I have lots of experience with laser cutters from my job at the GLSC, so this part of the project was easy for me. I am happy with the way it turned out and the way everything looks level. However, if I were to change it, I would make it so that the parallelogram border is part of the cut out instead of being the cut itself.

This is my vinyl cut logo. It is cut as it appears, using positive space for the letters and border, but the opposite, which I saw when removing the extra material, works just as well. I was confused at first by the cutting program and the process to cut, but I worked with my classmates and we conquered the issue together.

This is my design for the 3D printed logo and the final product. Even with experience in Tinkercad, it was difficult for me to replicate the even look of my logo in 3D, mostly because of issues with the program. In addition, some lines were originally too thin to be printed by the printer and didn't appear in the slicer. However, I overcame these issues just like the others, and I am happy with the result.
