The Lazer Test







Setting up for lazer cut

Ive decided to try lazercutting my design as i think a burnt effect would look quiet cool on cardboard..So ive just set up my document ready to lazer cut. Im a bit optimistic about what its going to turn out like as the type on my business card would look, il only find out if i try!!

Crit feedback





Action Plan


What i've learnt from the crit
> I need to try and test out my ideas, and eventually mock them up so people can pick it up and feel them.
>My concepts need to be a bit more clear to what i want
>I should'nt relay on people to look on my blog and check if the work is there, because they clearly wont!
>I need to speed up my process and instead of brainstorming my ideas, i should just DO IT!
