I finally started laser cutting today, I met with Sarah who is designing and making the slip case for the publication for me, I've never been on the laser cutter before, so Sarah gave me a crash course in how to upload your work, and showed me how to change the power and speed settings, as one of the first samples we tried, just ended up as a massive burnt hole.
I was really pleased with the results, some of the first trials, the power was still not strong enough, so it ended up just engraving the card rather than cutting it. However I really like the final effect, with the scorched effect.
I want to try doing a few more designs and trialing these out, hopefully by the end of next week I shall have some more designs, I also want to try adding the Dandy-Lion logo that Rachael sent me, having this engraved at the top of some of the designs, I'm not too sure how to do this, but will have a play around and see what happen.
