Laser Cut Notebook
Designing
The objective of the notebook was to both engrave, and cut out the cover, and back. I knew I wanted a pattern so I looked some up on google, which you can see on slide 1. I decided on one with a sort of triangle looking like pattern, I then put my journal name on top and outlined it with some diamonds to engrave. It was then time for the back, I didn't want just a plain back because that's boring, but i didn't want anything to extreme like the front so i just engraved property of K. Rene Merk, and cut out a little heart. You can see the file I created for these on slide 2.

Cutting
To start out the process of cutting out my notebook I had to choose what color I wanted it to be. I couldn't choose between a fuzzy, light gray and gold, and I thought the looked good together so I cut the front in gray and the back in gold. I first cut out the front, you can see the final on slide 1. I then Cut out The back, which you can see on slide 2.
