Idea to Product
All three projects have a different idea behind them. My notebook design reflects things in tennis. I designed my water bottle for my dad, he is a big fan of the Chicago Cubs. The bowl was just something cool I saw on Thingiverse. None of these projects were really researched like my phone holder.

On Illustrator, to get a 2D file on a 3D water bottle it must be a rectangle to go around the bottle. Since a water bottle needs to hold liquid nothing can be cut out. This is the same as the notebook where the images needed to be converted into a vector. The laser is set up to engrave the water bottle with the file selected. |

Although none of these products will be made it is interesting to see how completely different things can be made by the same machine. Though these projects I learned the ins and outs of illustrator better. I also saw that you have to work with what you have. Each project started out the same and ended completely different.
