About the Project
For this project we had to make a vinyl cutout. I decided to make a 1990's style Denver Broncos logo. I did this because my dad has always wanted a old logo for his car. To make it possible I used Illustrator and molded to the way the logo looks. I had to draw it 3 times, one time for each color. After that I saved it to my flash drive. Then I went to the vinyl printer and printed it off. In total I am very happy with how it turned out.
Notes/Research

things that I wrote and drew what I wanted to make.

Process
This is a photo of my logo in Illustrator. It is in three
pieces because each piece is stuck on one at a time.
Also the Bronco is yellow because I needed to see it
on the sheet. I printed it as white.

Installation
This is a photo of the decal on the car. In my opinion it turned out very cool. If I could change anything I would make it a little bit smaller.
What I Learned
What I learned during this was that in order to make three colored object, you need to go in layers. I thought you could just print out the shapes you wanted. But to make it work, you need to make on color that's the biggest then a medium sized one then the smallest. And it won't work if you don't do that. Which was crazy in my mind.
