Assignment Two: Making my own decal




So for assignment three I got to play around and design, cut, layer and weed out my own decal. I actually had a lot of fun with this one and my brain is now swirling with exciting things that I can put on my car, without making it look like an ice cream truck plastered with stickers.

Since I'm a big Seahawks fan, (Superbowl baby!!!) I decided to make a decal to show my love and support for the team.

When it comes to technical skills, I created the decal in Adobe illustrator by using the warp tool on the Seattle skyline and then making seperate layers for the two Seahawks lettering in green and white. I then took the files to school, saved them as an illustrator 8 file and imported them into the software that cuts the decals. I then proceeded to weed out the parts of vinyl I didn't want and to take masking tape to begin layering the three sections.

I think I did well on this assignment and it looks awesome on my car. I hope to create a few more before I graduate and learn what I can.
