Making images for Assignment 5

* This is an exploration project. You want to try many different types of images and pick the one that has the best chance of working on the c-n-c router and is the most interesting and aesthetically pleasing. Ultimately we are limited to a 1/16" line and a solid black and white image. Line drawings work great, photo realism not so much.

You can create the imagery for this project in various ways:

1. You can use Adobe Photoshop and alter images you photograph or find online. Take a look at the "Threshold" adjustment.

2. You can draw an image and translate using Adobe Capture CC. If you do this mark out a 6x6" square and draw using a traditional Sharpie.  

3. Use Adobe Capture CC and the "shape" tool to create and image.

-If you are only using Adobe Capture you will need to try photographing lots of different subject matter under various lighting conditions.
