1. I used a software called 'Techsoft 2D design'. It is a quick and easy software which you can use to design, in this case, I used 'Techsoft 2D design' to design the acrylic which I am going to use on my lamp.
2. I started off selecting 'grid lock' and I then drew a square which measured 160x140. The square was going to be my acrylic base on my lamp. Because It was my acrylic base on my lamp, i copied and pasted the square so that i had 4 squares.
3. I then went onto Google images and typed in the pictures I needed for my lamp designs. In order to get line drawings, I selected, 'Search Tools', then 'Type' and finally 'Line Drawings'.
4. I copied and pasted all my images and placed them underneath the squares as I wanted to laser cut them separately so that the two different pieces of acrylic would be two different colours.
5. I then started to label my designs. I did this so that the laser cutter knew what to cut. For example, I labelled my designs as:
Purple Background
Transparent
Opaque
Engraved
Cut
Separate
Glued on ...
6. Once I completed all my labeling, I saved my work on the shared drive and my work had been sent to the laser cutter to be cut.
