Vinyl Design- Assignment 3

A selfie of me and my vinyl design!

This is my vinyl design or sticker design I created of my fave Japanese Vocaloid characters. In this assignment I found out we had to have three colors, but when I saw all the different colored vinyl I got a stroke of inspiration and decided to make each character and have them cut to the color that represented them all. Also I chose black for the background since it ties in all of the colors perfectly, as for the text 'My World' it just represents that anime is my life, and that it is also where I get most of my creative inspiration for my projects.

So this assignment took me a while due to the fact that I had to draw each and every character individually and make sure they were all on separate layers. After that I converted it to a lower version of Illustrator and I then put them each separately into the sticker program to be cut. I have to admit the cutting was difficult and easy, and the reasons are 1) it cuts quickly and you don't have to wait to long to get the others started afterwards, 2) Even though they got cut the machine was not properly calibrated so it cut some of them a little sloppy and I had to take a small exacto knife and clean them up, and 3) Lastly, there were a bit of technical errors so I had to redo a lot of things to make the process easier. Otherwise, when I stuck them on it was quite magical how I had to use masking tape to help transfer over the stickers to the main background, which I did get some help with doing that! Though this has to be my favorite project so far, especially since I plan to make more stickers in the future!!
