Quinn Sherer: Week 12 - Laser Engraving



Concept

For my design, I wanted to use star shapes and incorporate motion in some way, so I made the stars weave in and out from one corner of the space to the other.


Process

I started by drawing and laying out the stars in photoshop, then imported the file into illustrator so I could vectorize the design and make it more crisp and clean.  Then I played around with shading in and around the stars with hatching and lines until I got a design I was happy with.  The lines were too thick to be considered a vector image by the scanner, but it worked well as a raster image.


Materials

I bought a 31x7.5" wooden skateboard deck and had the design laser engraved on the back.
