Personal Keychain Project
Student Project Package
Finding a Logo that will work in V-Carve
Convert Images to Vectors STEP 1
Search an Image:
Google your favourite image that suits your theme. Click on Images then Tools.
Click on Type then Line Drawing
Then click on Size and choose Medium
IMPORTANT: Only select simple shapes. Complex shapes will smudge the final result. The downloaded image should be either a Bitmap or PNG file.
Sketch Template
Students will create 2 sketches for 2 different ideas for their keychain design. This template and your sketches are not to scale. It is a communication tool for your rough design ideas.
If you are planning to include just text then typically 10 letters (approx.) fit best.
If you are planning to include text and a logo, typically 7 letters (approx.) and a logo fit best.
If you are including a border, make sure it is 3/16" (0.19 approx.) from the edge of the keychain.
If you are not including a boarder, make sure your text and logo are 3/16" (0.19 approx.) from the edge of the keychain.
