My favorite band is Sugarland, and when I heard we had to make a design that consisted of a heart, their symbol was the first thing that I thought of. Their new album, The Incredible Machine which was coming out a few weeks after the project was announced, gave me the perfect basis for using them.
I used Photoshop CS3, to make a 1"diameter circle and place a metal background on (a reference to the machine). I then took an image of the heart and wings off the internet, and positioned it over the background.
The text was the part I had the most trouble with, it took me quite a few tries just to learn how to use the process, then a bunch more to get it perfect on the picture.
When we finished the computer part of the project we had to print the circle out, and cut it out using a HUGE single hole punch. Then we placed the circle into a bottlecap, and our wonderful teacher Mr. Manco poured an apoxy over the paper to seal it into place.
I am very happy with the finished product. I have it hanging up in my locker, and love to just sit and look at it. As it says on the picture, the album debuted yesterday, and I love it soo much, i pre-ordered it in July, received it early.
