Week 29

This week I made some changes to the map project. Last week I finished up the design of the map and got it cut out in cardboard. Once I had it cut out at the end of the week I realized that the frame was very thin and did not feel like it would be sturdy. This week I started by working on making the frame wider. I did this in Inkscape where I imported the map design into the frame document and widened the frame to fit the map well and be more sturdy.

Once I was done designing I cut the new design out in cardboard. I think this design looks like it will work very well compared to the old one. The old one looks too thin and does not look sturdy enough. I also spent some time thinking about what material I want to use for the final product. I decided to cut the final product out in wood and hopefully paint the frame black which I will try get finished next week.
