Illustrator is a software that you can create 2D drawings that will enable you to cutout your design on the laser cutter or vinyl cuter. In illustrator you can make designs with outlines of images or shapes.
The first thing to do once you get to the laser is to get all the settings adjusted to fit what you are cutting, like the material and the thickness.

After you cut out the final you have to transfer the decal onto the notebook. This is done by peeling the extra around your name off then sticking transfer paper over it then putting that on your notebook.

In the short time of learning I got to learn how to use illustrator, a laser cutter and vinyl cutter. The all were not to hard to learn but the illustrator designing took the longest to learn because there was a lot of things involved. But by far the laser cutter was the most fun to use an look at during the cutting because you think light cant do much but it can if it is concentrated. Over all I was a lot of new information to learn but it was fun.
