Got Bored, Laptop + vinyl = this

Ok so it was the most enthralling Easter sunday for me so i decided to tidy up my laptop, it was looking a little tatty and it was my work laptop so i thought i'd give it a new image.

 

this was partly bordom and tidying up but also its always on show and should give my students ideas on what they can do themselves.

 

So this was my laptop in its original form, spent alot of time in my workshop and gets very tatty

first job was to skin the top of the laptop in a base colour so i used some white. not to bad a job but its a pig to get all the air out, not as nice to lay as DI-NOC. normally easy in small scale vinyl but laying large sections is a git.

I'd already picked out my designs and spent some time doing the drawings so the first job was to stick down layer 1 the black

next step was the silver

and then the Red

last step was to put in all the little bits of detail so my laptop is easily identifiable (easy enough any way :lol: )

Total time taken: 9 hours

layers and parts used: 8

 

 

reason it took so long was that the drawing wouldn't fit straight on to the lap top in one cut as the cuter i have isn't wide enough, so each layer is actually 2-3 parts with 3 layers in total.

 

gives you a good idea of what the cutter can do.

 

not bad for some stickers :lol:

Great advantage of it is if I don't like it or the IT department don't want it it just peels off. I can't see them having a problem, knowing them I'll end up being asked to do all he school laptops I some shape way or form. Lol
