Water BottleThe Idea behind my water bottle is fairly simple. Once I heard about the bottles being purple. I had a perfect design in mind I took my favorite brand (Nike) then I took the spear logo and did a repetitive design on the water bottle to wrap around the bottle and fill it completely.

3-D OBjectWhen I heard abut the laser cutout project I knew I wanted to do an animal. After looking at Thingverse I found a lot of crazy designs and animals but I finally decided to pick the baby dragon. I like the design of it and how it looked and because it is cute.

NotebookWhen we were told to make a design for a notepad I knew exactly what I wanted to design. Its another simple design but very unique to me. After using the same spear logo I used in previous projects I used it again in this one and then I made the number three a cutout. After finalizing the design I was very Pleased with the simplicity of my design.

Here is a picture of my sketches I did before I started designing them in inventor.
Digital documents
After I made each design in illustrator and the made sure every thing meet the required dimensions and sizes. Then I went over to the laser and printed of each of my projects.
Steps to Completion
Before using the laser for my projects I used the handout on how to set up the laser for the correct material and following the sheet step by step until the final process of cutting/engraving.
Summary
While working with the laser rotation I learned you need to be very efficient with your time. Because if your not going at a good pace you can get really far behind and have to then wait for a long group of people to go before you and that can be a little irritating. While waiting tho that gives you time to get a head start on the other projects. The thing I liked most about the laser is how easy it is to use it seems very complicated at first and very difficult but once you start using it more it becomes really fun to make projects with.
