Check one, issue one

My boards are cut =o) they look SO good! Next step Get wood. The plan is get that Sunday.

Heads up on the laser cutter make sure your board is even, no bowing or big difference with the plastic..... mine faded in the etching in one part due to one of those issues they think....

  1. This sounds cool. I like that you're thinking about combining CNC and laser cut pieces. Have you thought about how these pieces will be lit/how you are attaching a light inside? You could do something creative with how the light hits the lyrics.

  2. Glad to hear that the cutting went well, and thanks for the heads up on the material restraints.

    You should start designing the piece to enclose the light, like Joanna mentioned, and it could be neat to play with color by using either films in between layers or using different colored lights. Could have an interesting effect where the different colors mix too.

  3. I like that you are combining different material choices and technologies and think that the contrast will be really fun. Have you decided how you are constructing the grid?
