What were you trying to accomplish?
I was attempting to create relatively simplistic sticker designs. My first sticker was a single layer that included the required positive and negative space. The second sticker has three different colors and is also three separate layers stacked onto each other.
What technical skills did you use?
In Adobe Illustrator, I made good use of the shape builder tool. The first sticker is comprised of three circles and four rounded rectangles. I also cut out the negative space so that there would be no extra outlines when using the vinyl cutter. I used the shape builder for the second sticker as well - only to create the smile shape. Concerning the text, I created outlines for it.
How do you feel you did on the project?
I feel I did a better job on the first sticker. I quickly learned that sticking multiple vinyl layers on top of each other is much harder than it seems. Although I didn't quite line everything up on my second design, I am still fairly happy with it. Though I do prefer the first sticker. (Probably why I didn't stick the second one anywhere...)
