What I learned
There were so many things I learned during this project. First of all, I learned how t-shirts are printed and made. This was actually really interesting to me because it made me understand how our swim shirts are made. Secondly, I learned more in-depth about how illustrator works and some of the cool things it can be used for. I learned how to separate an image into different parts and pieces, and how to reflect an image and why you would want or need to. Another fun thing that I learned during this project, was that the computer connected to the vinyl cutter can just freeze sometimes. This doesn't mean the computer is broken, just that it is frozen and you have to restart it. However, the main thing I learned about during this project, was the heat press machine. I had never used this machine before so it was completely new, but surprisingly easy to learn and use. I really enjoyed this project, learned a lot, and made something I will actually use/wear.
