YCN Fedrigoni- Laser Cut







I have never laser cut before within uni so this was a good learning curve on something that I definitely want to do again. To design the art work it has to be done on illustrator, a simple vector with a 1pt line. The file then gets opened on illustrator on the laser cutting computer and cuts the design out. We tried cutting the design out on a thin cream stock and the design became quite dirty because of the light paper and the burning of the laser cutter, we also experimented with a thicker silver stock, this worked well however we had to push each window out individually. The sample booklet works by having strips of paper within it being the windows of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
