Earrings (on Basswood)

 
  1. We trace the teacher's choice image/logo using their link or a Google image search and words like logo, cartoon, clipart, comic, outline, or silhouette to make the hornet as easy to trace as possible. Remember that you WON'T be coloring it! (Stroke: RGB Blue, Fill: None)
  2. The outline of the shape and the small hole vary, but we can iterate after you've lasercut on cardboard. (Stroke: RGB Red, Fill: None)
  3. After you've made the first one, we will be reflecting some or all of the design so that it's a mirror image of the first one. Then we will move them as close together as possible.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hall Pass (on Birch)

Hall Passes need:
  1. We trace a (non-Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket) Hornet using Google image search and words like logo, cartoon, clipart, comic, outline, silhouette to make the hornet as easy to trace as possible. Remember that you WON'T be coloring it! (Stroke: RGB Blue, Fill: None)
  2. You will also be tracing the teacher's choice image/logo the same way! (Stroke: RGB Blue, Fill: None)
  3. The Teacher's Name, Room Number, and Henley Hall Pass  (Stroke: RGB Blue, Fill: None) using the text tool to make them as readable as possible, using Calibri, Courier, Verdana, Arial, or other Sans Serif Fonts. All the words should be sized the same without stretching them!
  4. The Rounded Rectangle should be 3.5" x 3.5" and the hole should be big enough circle to clip a lanyard holder through the top but not TOO close to the top so it won't break off (we don't supply lanyards ... I don't have any to give away) (Stroke: RGB Red, Fill: None)

Hornet Faceplate (on Acrylic) for use in an aquarium with LED lights
This is specific to Mr. Nunley's needs. 
  1. We trace a (non-Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket) Hornet using Google image search and words like logo, cartoon, clipart, comic, outline, silhouette to make the hornet as easy to trace as possible. Remember that you WON'T be coloring it! (Stroke: RGB Blue, Fill: None)
  2. It SHOULD have a Rectangle that he can specify the size. (Stroke: RGB Red, Fill: None) We can probably adjust the size after you have cut your first prototype on cardboard.
