Creating it in Illustrator
To start, I opened up a file in illustrator and created to rectangles for the front and back of the notebook. After creating the rectangles, I changed the stroke of the rectangles to red so they will cut out. I then put my name on the bottom of the front notebook. After that I found a Waunakee logo to copy and paste into my rectangles. I then changes them to raster images and fit them so they fit into both rectangles. I kept the logos and my name black so it would engrave into my notebook.
Here on would be where the pictures of setting it up in the laser and final product of the Notebook.
Creating the Water bottle
I created a new file in illustrator, and begun looking for a black and white Wisconsin Badgers logo to put on my water bottle. After finding one, I changed it to a raster image and changed the size of it to fit the dimensions of the water bottle. I then rotated it because in the laser the water bottle will be laying down.
