Week 4
Zine
Reflection
In the beginning it was not clear to me what the assignment was and what was expected. Once I go with the flow it became clearer to me. Making the inflatables was a fun experiment to start with. One of the most important things I learned is how to work with the laser cutter. I also know how to work now without using presets. I've learned how to solve a problem whenever i encounter one, for example deciding where to start cutting. Now I think more consciously about the material I use and what settings to use with each material on the laser cutter.
It was really fun to experiment with different shapes and structures and to think how I can make it better and worse. I deliberately thought to be more economical with the material by thinking about the following things: the amount of space because I shared the material with someone else, where am I going to cut it out and making rings for bookbinding from the leftovers.
I was happy with the final result of the sample book I've made but less happy that I had to leave him at the Makerslab.
