Must have a 1/8" hole centered 1/4" away from the outside edge to accept a key chain ring.

#2 Magnet/Coaster/Key chain

1) Choose either of the 2 next projects

2) There must be Text on the Product that is created by the designer

3) There must be a cut out other than a perimeter shape, this can be either the text or part of the logo 

 Refrigerator magnet

Coasters 

#3 Negative inlay

1)  Choose an image you wish to cut out

2)  Using this image you are required to use Engrave, Cut and score

3)  This image will have 3 parts

        a) Main image that will be engraved, scored however must be cut or cut around

        b) You must inlay a different material (different wood, acrylic) in or around the image

        c) You must have a backer piece that will allow you to glue the pieces together 

 ASSIGNMENT ACTION STEPS 

You will choose 4 pictures that must be black and white.  

You will need to save these pictures to your computer.  Remember where you save the pics.

Bring Image into AI

Live trace the image

Ungroup the image

Select the direct selection tool

delete the outside shape and any white background image

Check image for any tails, spots or hangers and delete them

Save image as an SVG

Bring image into Glowforge

 ASSIGNMENT  # 2 

1)  USING THE DESIGN THINKING APPROACH YOU WILL ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION BELOW.  ANSWER THEM ON THE DOCUMENT POSTED IN CLASSROOM, THEN SUBMIT THEM TO THAT ASSIGNMENT. 

DESIGN THINKING 

Take some time to think....now think some more. Your task is to come up with an example of a specific global problem/situation/social ill this type of design thinking would allow you to create a solvable solution to.

It is very important to not let the lack of technology control you thought process or solution to the problem.   

1)  Identify the problem you are intending to solve.  Create an approach/solution/s which current technology does not currently support but most certainly could in the future.

2)  Next take a moment to consider the down stream affects you're solution could potentially have on society and the affects generations yet to come.

3)  Lastly identify areas you think you could consider improvements.  Identify the improvement's as well as the resources needed to produce this technological product/s.
