The Notebook Engrave
My drawing for it
First I made a work plane that is 6 inches tall and 9 wide. Next I made 2 boxes side by side that are each 4.25 inches wide and 5.5 inches tall. The 2 boxes are representing the front and back covers of my notebook. I made the stroke for them red and 0.0001 pixels thick.

Next I added a gear that was black and white off google. I image traced it and expanded it too. Next I added a circle to fit the inside circle of the gear, and made it the stroke red and 0.0001 pixels thick. This is going to make a hole in my front cover of my notebook

Now I went to google to search up an image for the Waunakee Warrior Spear. I made two of them but mirrored on the first page of the notebook. I next image traced them and expanded the image
Next I added a picture of a Lamborghini from the internet that was black and white. After that I image traced the image and then expanded the image.

Now I added some text saying "IDEA NOTEBOOK." Next I changed the font, I forgot what type it was. After that I created outlines for the text.
For the last thing I did was add some text saying "Jack Lutz 1B" with the same text as the text on front cover. After that I created outlines for the text.

2d engrave into 3d object
Hard to make a drawing for engrave, but this is what it will look like
PDF of the Plane
First I searched up Thingiverse on Google and went to their website.
Next I clicked on the Simplified version of the plane and downloaded the PDF file.
Next I made it big enough where the thickness of the cardboard stuff will fit the holes in the wings to connect the parts.

Picture of the plane will look like finished after I engraved my object
Then I searched up "3d plane" or "Waco Plane" to find the plane I was looking for.
Then I went to adobe illustrator and made a workspace that was opened up with the pdf file.
Lastly I made the stroke size to 0.0001 pixel and changed the stroke color to red.

What I learned
I learned how to create things that will be cut out from the laser and make things that will be engraved into something. They way to do this is changing the color from black to red to cut something out and leave it black to be engraved. I also learned how to make things that will cut out to create a 3d object. This also really helped me learn some of the tools on Adobe Illustrator.
