Sticker Design
- Welcome to Sticker Design minicourse. This class will introcude you to Cut Studio software for the design of and creation of single, and multi colored vinyl stickers. Cut Studio is one of a variety of porgrams used in the vinyl sign and sticker making industry. You will also learn how to layer and align designs, pick, back, and apply stickers once they are cut.
Lab Fees
- There is a $8.00 lab fee that will be strictly enforced this year due to budget restrictions. If you choose not to pay the lab fee please see me because there are many students that wish to take the class but can not because it is full. If you can not pay the lab fee please see me. This must be paid before any of your sticker designs will be cut, and in order to receive credit for the class.
- Pay the book keeper at the main office. She will take payment before school, during lunch, and after school, but not during class. She will give you a receipt, which you need to bring to me so that I can keep track of those who have paid. This will be the first thing listed on Powerschool.
- It will show Zero if you have not paid.
- It will show a green check mark stating collected once you have paid.
Turning in your work for cutting and grading
- After you finish an assignment it needs to be turned in in order to be cut and graded.
- It needs to be labeled correctly (Last Name, First initial, assignment number) craftr6
- It needs to be sized correctly
- It needs to be copied and pasted to: Pdrive>Handins>Craft>Sticker Design>appropriate folder
- Failure to do these steps will result in time delays in the form of stickers not being cut.
Class Credit and grading for those who have not paid.
Stickers are graded in two parts: Design, and weeding and backing. Those who have not paid will still be graded for the design portion of the sticker, but not for the weeding and backing. Since all of the requirements of creating a sticker are not fulfilled, you can still recieve a C for the project. In order to recieve higher credit the weeding and backing needs to be done as well as the design.
