Vinyl cutting uses a machine controlled by a computer. An image is uploaded and sent to the cutter, which then uses a sharp blade to cut the image into sheets of thin self-adhesive plastic (vinyl). For this assignment I found a picture of Scooby-Doo and it now is placed on the back of my computer!
Once printed off I had to carefully remove the excess vinyl that I didn't want. This process takes some time if you want it to look nice and not sloppy.
